Desi Bissell is the founder of Inspired Learning Solutions, an independent practice dedicated to helping neurodiverse learners unlock their potential. As a registered Davis Dyslexia Facilitator, she provides Davis® Programs alongside other customized learning solutions tailored to each individual’s unique needs and learning style.
With more than ten years of experience working closely with neurodiverse individuals, Desi has developed a deep and intuitive understanding of how to adapt strategies for individuals with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning challenges. Her journey in this field is not only professional but profoundly personal—she is dyslexic herself and is raising three children who each experience dyslexia and ADHD in different ways. This lived experience allows her to connect with clients and families on a meaningful level, offering guidance that is both empathetic and effective.
Since beginning her work as a Davis® Facilitator in 2019, Desi has welcomed learners from Red Deer and across Central Alberta into a supportive, hands-on environment where they feel seen, understood, and capable. Whether working in person or online, she focuses on each individual’s natural strengths and thinking style—helping clients move past frustration and discover what they can do. Her work empowers learners of all ages to build confidence, improve literacy and focus, and develop practical tools they can carry with them for life.
In addition to her work with children and families, Desi brings her lived experience to supporting adult learners who may be discovering their learning differences for the first time. She guides adults in understanding their challenges and strengths, offering tools that are practical and sustainable. Desi’s intention is not long-term dependence but long-term empowerment—helping clients build skills that allow them to move forward confidently and independently. Her mission is for every client to feel seen, capable, and empowered to thrive.
