Navigating Dyslexia and the Mental Health Landscape with Kim Rio

Join our Masterclass, with guest expert Kim Beaman Rios, to learn about the hidden challenges and joys that people with Dyslexia experience on their journey, which can be quite individual, yet have common undertones.  She will talk a bit about society’s messages and the common myths about Dyslexia.  Then we will explore the mental health landscape, and take a closer look at the role of trauma and grief when it comes to dyslexia. 

Some takeaways from her talk: 

•  Learn how Dyslexia is defined.  Each individual is unique and not defined by their dis-ablity, rather each person has abilities, many of which may be unknown or unseen.  

• Learn about the social model versus the medical model way of thinking about Dyslexia and its impact. 

• Learn how you can make a learning environment more accessible and inviting for your child with Dyslexia. 

• Understanding how Trauma, Grief/Loss, Depression and Anxiety impact a person with Dyslexia.  

Kim is an author and speaker.  She also knows what it’s like to have dyslexia.  We love having guest experts that not only have professional experiences to share but personal insight.  Kim is a licensed therapist in the State of Florida with extensive counselling experience that includes crisis intervention and helping those with learning differences. )
