About Cate

My journey with dyslexia is both personal and professional. After experiencing learning challenges throughout my own schooling, I finally understood many of my frustrations when I was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of 40. Around the same time, my young daughter was also diagnosed, giving me a deeper understanding of the challenges children can face when their way of learning isn’t understood.

With more than 20 years of experience in early childhood and primary education, I have always been drawn to supporting children who find traditional learning challenging. I often felt there had to be a better way to help these students recognise their abilities and reach their potential.

Discovering the Davis Dyslexia Program opened up a new understanding of how people with dyslexia, dyscalculia and attention difficulties can learn differently and successfully. Inspired by the work of Ron Davis, I became a Davis Facilitator with a passion for helping children, young people and adults build confidence, overcome learning barriers and discover their own strengths.

I believe everyone deserves to feel capable, valued and confident in their ability to learn. My goal is to help each individual discover a way forward that works for them.
