Leah is a 20-year veteran of the Special Education field who has presented workshops and provided training sessions for teachers and therapists for 15 years. Leah was a classroom teacher, resource room teacher, program supervisor and school service coordinator. She created and presented effective reading comprehension, phonemic awareness and math training sessions for educators and parents.
