A Mother’s Battle Against a Broken Education System to Help Her Sons Overcome Dyslexia

For many parents, ensuring their children receive a proper education can be difficult, but for Bellamy, the challenge was even greater. Her two neurotypical sons struggled with reading, yet their difficulties were often overlooked. In this memoir, she shares her family’s battle to get their dyslexia recognized and accommodated in public and private schools. \

Through real-life experiences, Bellamy uncovers the flaws within the education system, the barriers parents face when advocating for their children, and the emotional toll it takes. She brings readers back to the very beginning—even before school started—allowing them to truly understand her family’s journey.

But Chasing My Child’s Education is more than just a story of struggle—it’s a message of hope. Bellamy’s determination led her to become a Reading Specialist, turning her personal fight into a lifelong mission to help children with dyslexia. Today, she works as a Reading Tutor, using her knowledge and experience to support families facing similar challenges.

“I wrote this book for parents who feel alone in their fight,” says Bellamy. “If you have a child struggling to keep up in school, I want you to know that there is a way forward. I’ve been where you are, and I hope my journey can inspire and guide you. I also wrote the book to bring awareness of the how important it is to give our Dyslexic students the support they need to allow them to stay in their zoned schools and urge the Department of Education to employ multi-sensory teaching methods for reading and writing as early as Pre-K.”

This must-read book is perfect for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about education reform. It sheds light on the struggles families face, the resilience needed to overcome them, and the importance of advocating for every child’s right to learn.
