Brightmont Academy Speaker Series

In this informative session of the Brightmont Academy Speaker Series, we are joined by Dr. Sarah Richie, Ph.D., Clinical Neuropsychologist, for a clear and insightful conversation on understanding dyslexia and how to support the students it affects.


Dr. Richie brings specialized clinical expertise to this discussion, offering parents and educators a grounded look at how dyslexia influences the way students read, learn, and experience school. She shares evidence-based strategies that families and teachers can use to support reading development and help students build both skills and confidence.


In this session, Dr. Richie discusses:

  • Key signs of dyslexia and common myths that surround it
  • How dyslexia affects students' reading and learning
  • Evidence-based tools to support reading development
  • Tailored approaches parents and educators can use to foster success
  • How personalized, one-to-one instruction can make a difference for students with dyslexia



This conversation is designed to empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to understand dyslexia, advocate for their child, and support their learning with confidence.
