Dyslexia: Behind the Mask

Dyslexia: Behind the Mask

Hidden Struggles. Shared Stories. New Possibilities.

A Full Day of Expert Talks, Stories and Q&A

Masking isn't just an autism story. Many dyslexic children and adults become experts at coping with struggle through compensation, humour, avoidance, perfectionism, overwork, and sometimes sheer determination.

From the outside, they may appear to be managing. Yet behind the mask can lie anxiety, exhaustion, self-doubt, and a growing sense that no matter how hard they try, something isn't working.

Join us for a full day of thoughtful, honest and practical talks exploring the hidden effort behind coping, compensation and adaptation — and what becomes possible when difference is understood rather than misunderstood.
