Kate WattKate Watt
Kate’s understanding of learning differences began with her son's early struggles in reading and writing. Despite reassurances from teachers, she trusted her instincts and sought further assessment. At seven, he was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia—an experience that not only secured the support he needed but also ignited Kate’s passion for raising awareness. This personal journey became the foundation of her commitment to education and advocacy.
