S1 E9 – Educational Excellence Awards Series – Melanie Brethour’s Quest for Understanding

Melanie Brethour, the founder of the Quebec chapter of Decoding Dyslexia and a teacher in the Riverside School Board on the south shore of Montreal, is entering her 20th year of teaching. However, her understanding of dyslexia was limited until her son entered kindergarten and began experiencing difficulties. It wasn't until he was 9 years old that he received a diagnosis, which motivated her to join the fight against dyslexia. Her steadfast dedication to inclusive education has earned her the 2024 Dyslexia Canada Educational Excellence Award.
