About the Presenter...

Karen R. LoGiudice, International Dyslexia Expert and Coach

When people ask me how I went from having a promising corporate career to being a heart-centered entrepreneur hell-bent on helping people with learning disabilities, I have to start with ONE WORD.

DYSLEXIA

When you don't have that word in your awareness and you're seeing your bright child struggle with the word "if" (after all of those flash cards...) you feel like you're going crazy. It's just that simple.

I have A LOT of personal and professional experience with Dyslexia - here's my story.

Experience as a parent of two dyslexic sons...

When her 9-year-old son was struggling with reading, spelling, and writing, Karen LoGiudice desperately searched for answers to end her son's frustration and to find a solution so that he could master these fundamental skills of life.

School system testing came up inconclusive, but her obviously bright and articulate son continued to struggle. After about a year of private tutoring, psycho-educational testing, and research, it was revealed that her son was suffering from Dyslexia.

Karen sought help from a licensed Davis® facilitator and watched her son's self-esteem soar! His inspirational turn-around and academic success prompted Karen to leave her senior management position at a $500M technology company to pursue licensing in the Davis® Dyslexia Correction procedures herself.

When her youngest son began showing signs of Dyslexia, Karen knew exactly what to do! He went through a Davis program in 2007 and hasn't looked back since!

Experience as a Dyslexic...

It is estimated that 10-15% of the population, or approximately 30 million Americans, are Dyslexic. This includes adults - many of whom are undiagnosed and, therefore, unaware that their difficulties may be caused by Dyslexia.

Karen, holding a degree in Communication from Suffolk University, has always loved to learn. The daughter of a high school English teacher, reading and writing have always been a big part of her life, and are skills that she has used throughout her career.

However, in learning about Dyslexia for her sons, Karen discovered that many of the symptoms applied to her as well. The same thinking style that has enabled her creativity, entrepreneurial, and communication skills was also what made reading slow and draining - and reading music/learning a second language a painful experience.

"Understanding my own thinking style has made life a lot easier. When I look back, I now realize why I could succeed easily in some classes, but struggled in others. I wish I had had the Davis® tools and techniques back then!" - says Karen of her college days.

Experience as a facilitator...

Karen's ability to personally identify with her clients' thinking and learning style has been key to her success in helping clients from all over New England correct and control the negative aspects of Dyslexia...providing them with the tools and understanding of HOW they, too, can learn!

Since opening New England Dyslexia Solutions in 2006, Karen has been thrilled to help hundreds of children and adults overcome difficulties with the written word, math, and attention deficits using the Davis® techniques.  This success has enabled Karen to confidently and unequivocally say:

"Dyslexia is not a condition that must be endured for a lifetime! Dyslexia is absolutely correctable - and it's easier to do than you think!"

Experience as a Business Coach and Mentor for other Dyslexia facilitators...

Combining her passion for this incredible work with her business background and skills, Karen's other passion is helping other Dyslexia facilitators make a bigger impact on the world by increasing their own respective Dyslexia practices. 

As an international Dyslexia business coach, Karen's mission to increase awareness and ensure that no dyslexic goes un-helped is continuing to grow exponentially.
