In this conversation, educator and advocate Shona O’Callaghan, founder of Empowering Creative Minds, shares her personal and professional journey with dyslexia, multilingualism, and inclusion. Diagnosed as an adult, Shona reflects on what it means to grow up feeling different—and how that experience inspired her life’s work: supporting neurodivergent children and the educators who teach them. With warmth and clarity, she unpacks common myths, the importance of screening before diagnosis, and the essential role of teachers in creating inclusive classrooms.
