Can superpowers really come from struggles? With three simple steps, the answer is yes! Recognition, understanding and action allows you to take ownership of dyslexic or neurodiverse tendencies and ensure your child and family no longer feel incomplete or less than others. 

Join us for afternoon forums in either Christchurch, Wellington or Auckland to let go, be free and unlock dyslexia. Early bird ticket prices available now!

It’s a family journey, and belief change is key. Dyslexia Foundation co-founders Guy and Suzanne Pope-Mayell, who know this well from their own family experiences, will join us in helping show you how to turn survive to thrive.

This event builds on the launch of the fourth focus for Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand – the family. Following successful advocacy and action in education, youth justice, and the workplace, the family is the next arena for fostering paradigm change (mind-shift) in understanding and harnessing the strengths of dyslexia and neurodiversity.

Through two key presentations and an opportunity for questions & answers, the Forum will explore the reality of the family journey, looking at belief systems, deleting the ones that do not serve and installing those that do.

The centrepiece of the event is a dynamic presentation by international neural coding** experts Dr Amanda Foo-Ryland and Sarah Foo-Ryland. An equal dose of entertainment and liberation.

FORUM PROGRAMME IN BRIEF:

12.30-1pm Conference room opens, no allocated seating.

1:00pm - 2.30pm ‘Dyslexia Exposed’
Guy & Suzanne Pope-Mayell will distil their collective experiences into an hour of power and then provide answers to your questions.
