Expert Speaker

We started storytelling in 2015 when founder Shae Wissell shared her story with the world. Shae wanted to disrupt what people think and understand about dyslexia, and give young people and adults with dyslexia a voice.

Shae weaves her lived experience of dyslexia and dysgraphia with the latest research to give you the most thought-provoking presentations and workshops. Tailored to the concerns and needs of your audience, presentations provide a face-to-face opportunity to talk about learning disabilities and their impact.
