Katy Farmer - Teacher, Author, and More!

Katy's interest in dyslexia stems from helping her daughter, whose dyslexia was diagnosed in the sixth grade. Katy became a therapist through professional development at Neuhaus and had a tutorial practice from 1991-1995. She taught fourth grade for several years, and then was offered an instructor position here at Neuhaus, where she is now the Instructional Manager for General Education. She still tutors students two days per week. In addition to her full time work here, Katy is a writer. She has published several short stories and one novel, Power of the Shaman, a young adult novel about the Karankawa Indians, set in Galveston, Texas. Amazingly, she also has time for her passion for quilting (she's made over 100 quilts!), and her seven beautiful grandchildren.
