History
Our unique approach was developed by an educator who has taught skill-building courses to thousands of college students and directs a college's highly successful program for students with LD. She holds a master's degree and an advanced certificate in Counseling Psychology from New York University, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York, and holds certification as an academic coach for students with Learning Disabilities. Her approach is to assess each individual, not only as a student, but as a whole person influenced by past experiences and aspiring to a happy and successful life. She believes each student with LD must break free of past discouragement (often because of bullying or ridicule) and start visualizing options for the future . Only then can they cope with the challenges of their learning disability and devote the time and energy they need to realize their academic potential.
