Course Instructor

Suzanne Petty is a CALT-QI and the current president of the Louisiana ALTA chapter. She and Dr. Laura Cassidy co-founded Louisiana Key Academy in 2013 in response to the severe lack of instructional resources and support systems for their own dyslexic children and thousands more like them in Louisiana.  As her journey in the field of dyslexia developed, Suzanne acquired an MEd in Special Education and then completed an MEd in Dyslexia Therapy from William Carey University.  She has practiced as a special education resource teacher in the public school setting, private therapist, small group therapist for 3rd through 5th grade students, and lead and supported instruction and curriculum development, student placement and fundraising initiatives during her tenure at Louisiana Key Academy.  Suzanne brings a wealth of experience to the DRC.
