Executive Director Message

January 2026
 
Dear Tillotson Families,
 
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed a restful break and time with loved ones. As we return for January, I’m grateful for your partnership and excited for the learning and growth ahead.
 
With this new year comes a new program: our new LEARN Seminar Series! LEARN is an acronym for Leading Education & Awareness on Research in Neurodivergence. Our first session will be held on January 14 at 6:30, and feature speaker Dr. Kelly Beck from Pitt’s REACT Autism Research Center. Be sure to register for this free and virtual event!
 
Recent Happenings:
 
Our students were able to take part in holiday shopping again this year! We visited South Hills Village to celebrate the season.
Our Winter T.A.G. was a great way to end the year and give our students a final send-off before 2026! Be sure to check out our social media page for photos!
