The SLD Center is making such a difference in the lives of children who struggle to read, write and spell. I typically don't get choked up, however, I wept with joy when I heard I child read me a book for the first time after working with her for a few short months. Her comment back to me was "thanks for making me normal". SLD is an amazing group, with an amazing mission. I will support them and be a tutor for years to come.
