Kait is a certified Learning Behavior Specialist and Dyslexia Practitioner who is passionate about seeing ALL students, regardless of age, geographical location or socio-economic background learn how to read and write, equipping them to reach and show off their full potential. She believes that literacy empowers people to become fully alive. She has worked in a variety of public, charter, and private school settings for over a decade and has supported diverse learners ages 5-55 in their literacy and self-advocacy journeys. Kait founded Redwood Literacy with the intention of a 50/50 model, using 50% of our services to fund the opportunity for 50% of Redwood’s students impacted by Redwood to receive services for free. To do this, she has fostered partnerships with organizations and schools all over Chicago to provide structured literacy intervention to students who otherwise wouldn’t have access. As of January 2021, Redwood is serving 290 students, with 160 of them having access to our services for free. Kait also consults with start-up organizations and educational institutions to advise on incorporating groundbreaking structured literacy intervention into classrooms and presenting on Redwood’s 1:5 curriculum that teaches students, parents, and teachers to navigate the unique journey of dyslexia learning.
