Comer Yates has served for 23 years as Executive Director of the Atlanta Speech School, the nation’s most comprehensive language and literacy center with four schools, clinical programs and the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy.

The School impacts the lives of approximately 1,400 children and adults on its campus and tens of thousands of students across Georgia and the nation through its Rollins Center’s professional development program and its free online Cox Campus (coxcampus.org) with members from all 50 states and 82 countries. The Rollins Center concentrates on providing educators with the capacity to break the cycle of illiteracy and resulting poverty for children whose families have experienced generational lack of access (or denied access) to educational opportunity.
