Jane has a BA in English and a BS in Elementary Education, and a master’s degree from Teachers College, Columbia University in Applied Educational Psychology specializing in reading and reading disabilities.

After seeing the transformative effects of NILD educational therapy, Jane received the highest level of training and is a Professionally Certified Educational Therapist (P.C.E.T.) from the National Institute of Learning Development.

As a Reading and Language Arts teacher at Eagle Hill School, a nationally recognized school for students with language-based learning disabilities, Jane brought into her daily instruction educational therapy techniques tailored to remediate the underlying deficit areas of the learning capabilities of her students.
