May is a former registered nurse who initially suspected her son was autistic before he turned 1. By age 3, her son was formally diagnosed. Because services were not readily available and May's personal experience with auditory processing issues, she opened Advanced Sensory Educational Services, LLC (ASES) in Aurora, IL. May provides the Berard Method of auditory integration training; Interactive Metronome; Irlen Screening; and local resources to families affected by autism at the ASES center.
