Gwyneth was diagnosed with dyslexia two years ago. I never did post about her diagnosis out of respect for her. She didn’t want to share it with anyone. A lot has changed in two years. She is now more empowered and she is proud to be dyslexic. I will have to go back and share our experience now that I have her permission. 

Gwyneth has been very lucky. She has access to dedicated teachers, tutors and a wonderful education. She was tested and diagnosed early and she thrives in her studies. Many children do not have access to the tools that she does and it’s important to our family that we give back. One of the biggest issues we have found with dyslexia is the lack of education. Even teachers and administrators have so little information to help students. 

We wanted to raise awareness and allow others to get the help that Gwyneth has received. October is dyslexia awareness month so it was fitting that we did a fundraiser at Color Me Mine. We donated all the studio fees for the day to Made by Dyslexia. We are so grateful to all the customers who came to paint and especially to Gwyneth’s buddies who joined her for the event. It’s so amazing to see the support she has — this girl is loved!
