  • Sheri Friedman, M.A

    My goal is to provide each child with limitless opportunities for support, structure and success. Success begins by creating a warm and trusting rapport with students, parents, teachers, physicians, and allied professionals. Sessions are individualized and specialized, integrating a variety of effective, creative methodologies and evidence based learning tools. My goal is to prevent and circumvent the cycle of frustration, failure and despair that affects so many children and their families and to replace it with joyful learning.
