Why Do We Love May Center?
“May Center has been the basis of where I’ve learned all of my essential skills for school. It helps kids who have never gotten help in their life, and it gives them a foundation so that they can go on. It gives people so much and teaches them so much, so that they can really blossom in life.”
— May School Student, Age 12
“Trying to learn and then mastering a skill that has historically been almost impossible, truly requires bravery and daily dedication. Many of us don’t remember how we learned to read and many of us remember each painful step. At May Center each step is highly supported in an engaging and encouraging environment by teachers and staff who truly love this lifesaving work. I love what I do and I love doing it here at May Center.”
— May School Counselor
“The Dyslexia Specialist Training with May Center has significantly deepened my awareness of the diverse ways dyslexia manifests in the classroom. It provided me with practical strategies and interventions, such as multisensory approaches, while also increasing my understanding of the cognitive load my students experience. This training has made me a more informed and responsive educator, empowering me to create a more inclusive learning environment for all students.”
— Alum, Winter/Spring 2023 Dyslexia Specialist Cohort
