About the Speaker

After successfully finding a solution to her son Haley’s learning challenges, Kari was determined to help others with the most common yet most misunderstood learning difference: dyslexia. In 2011, Kari opened the doors to Haley’s Hope, a non-profit center dedicated to changing how people recognize and understand how those with dyslexia learn. Through years of personal experience, intensive training, and advanced education, her knowledge of dyslexia is extensive, and her desire to share and educate never ceases.
