About Us
Our History
Celebrate Dyslexia, our sister organization, began as a nonprofit meant to celebrate, educate, and empower learners with Dyslexia, their families, and educators. It is a product of the education initiative.
Our focus is to bring solutions to our community in collaboration with parents of dyslexic children, teachers, students, medical professionals and community leaders to provide evidence-based information that will help navigate the current education system to ensure children’s individual success regardless of zip code.
In 2023, the Texas State Board of Education granted charter approval to Celebrate Dyslexia Schools, San Antonio’s first school dedicated to providing transformative educational experience for learners with dyslexia.
Now, we implement all the techniques and programs for which we’ve been advocating at our own school!
