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!
