October 2025
Dear Tillotson Families,
It’s officially fall, and we have an exciting month ahead of us! Continue reading below for the latest happenings and upcoming events:
Tillotson is Growing
ACLD Inc., our non-profit organization, has three programs: ACLD Tillotson School, ShYFT 18-21 Year-Old Program, and now, our new Evaluation Center! Our evaluations look at learning, attention, memory, language, social-emotional functioning, and daily living skills—helping to identify strengths, clarify challenges, and provide clear recommendations for school, home, and community life.
Spread Your Wings
Many of our students and staff have spread their wings while trying yoga! Open Up Pittsburgh is an organization aimed at offering inclusive activities for individuals with disabilities. They are here once per month for any student that would like to try during their recess time!
Recent Happenings
So far this school year, our students have already gone on outings to the National Aviary and the movies! Football and cheer practice is underway as well, and our school can’t wait for the upcoming game!
