Matteo’s Story

Meet Matteo, a determined 15-year-old who loves his family and sports. Diagnosed with multiple layers of dyslexia, Matteo was once told he would never be able to read or write and would always depend on others. But through his resilience, and with the support of his family and a Slant trained tutor, Matteo has defied all expectations— recently finishing 8th grade with a 3.5 GPA.

"Kim’s only regret in getting certified in SLANT is that she did not find it early enough to intervene with her own two children who are dyslexic thinkers."

Kim Hillard is an special educator currently participating in the SLANT year long practicum, partially funded by Classmates Literacy Foundation. She shares her story and the tremendous impact her SLANT training is having on her students.
