Cheryl Sain

Cheryl’s 35-year teaching career morphed from classroom teacher to dyslexia therapist after one of her own children was identified with dyslexia.

Cheryl’s dyslexia training began in 2004 at the LEAD center. Her original training was specific to the Alphabetic Phonics program, but subsequently led to training that included the Take Flight program at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. The last 18 years of her teaching career were spent as a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) in the public-school setting.

Cheryl is currently retired from public education but continues to provide dyslexia therapy to students in a private setting. As a classroom teacher and reading specialist, Cheryl understands the value of reading. While understanding that learning to read is not a process that flows naturally for some students, audiobooks and interactive books become invaluable tools. Cheryl is happy to be a part of The Bulladoir Project, Inc. – offering books that entertain while continuing to keep children of all ages engaged in reading!

Paul Jolly

Paul was a science kid in the space-age ’60s and completed a degree in biology. He followed a concurrent fascination with media technology into the world of video production. His path included broadcast work, commercial production, and a specialty in motion graphics design. His video career culminated in a 20-year tenure making videos at Scottish Rite for Children. One of his many in-house clients at Scottish Rite was the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders.

Developing videos for the dyslexia curricula designed at the Luke Waites Center gave him opportunities to see children who had been non-readers transformed into enthusiastic readers excited by books.
