Kathy Forsyth and Kate Power

Kathy Forsyth and Kate Power are writers, designers, and advocates for a greater understanding of dyslexia. Both are mothers of children with dyslexia, an experience that inspired their collaborative work and continues to inform their perspective.

Drawing on backgrounds in the creative industries—Kate Power in particular working within creative fields, and Kathy Forsyth as a graphic designer—their work combines visual storytelling with accessible, practical insight. They are the co-authors of The Illustrated Guide to Dyslexia and Its Amazing People, a visually engaging and widely praised introduction to dyslexia that explores how it feels, how it affects learning, and how it can also be a source of creativity and innovative thinking.

Through their writing and advocacy, Kathy and Kate aim to shift perceptions of dyslexia—from a difficulty to be overcome to a difference that can be understood, supported, and celebrated.
