Product Description Liz, a late-term starter at St Gabriels, hates the place. `Give a helping hand,' advises Gran in between urging her to get herself on the hurling team. But Karen turns down her offer of help with a barn-owl conservation project, and star hurlers Sean and Colin think her proposal to get them out of a jam is off the wall. From the Galway Independent Kate McMahon Occupation: author, teacher, farmer Location: Craughwell and Athenry Massachusetts-born Kate McMahon juggles so much, it's hard to see how she keeps everything together. A theatre-goer who loves to speak French, with a passion for all things equine, she seems to stretch time itself to fit in all of her passions. Growing up outside Boston, Kate was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was ten years old but was determined to finish school and university so that she could teach children with dyslexia how to read and spell and help them avoid the "humiliation and frustration" she suffered as a poor student when she was young. While on holiday in Ireland in 1980, Kate stayed with the late Lady Cusack-Smith from Bermingham House, Tuam. While there she met Dr John O'Dea from Ballyvaughan in Co. Clare. He knew about dyslexia from his training in Canada and suggested that she move to Galway and work with the dyslexic children here. At the time, the Western Health Board psychologists were able to diagnose a child with dyslexia but there was no follow-up language support services in the schools to help them. Having lived and taught in various parts of Galway, Kate married in 1986, and moved to Craughwell. She has two children, Amy and William. After a failed attempt to produce a phonetic workbook for her dyslexic students, Kate took the advice of a friend and switched her focus from 'spelling rules' to the antics of her children. "I took it up as a kind of a dare," she says now. But the dare paid off. She has now published four children's novels and four ‘high interest, low vocabulary’
