About Dr Freedom Learn

I am an educator with a Ph.D. in Special Education from Columbia University. I create picture books, short videos, and simple tools that help adults support children’s emotional growth at school and at home.

Why I started

Children are often the first to feel something and the last to find words for it. The adults around them, a teacher who notices, a counselor with an open door, a parent at bedtime, are usually the ones who help those words arrive.

My work in special education has shown me how much changes when a child can name what they feel and an adult is ready to listen. Dr Freedom Learn is my way of putting warm, simple, research informed resources into those adults’ hands.

The butterfly

The butterfly in the logo is made of small points joined by lines. It stands for something I believe about growing up: small moments, like the beat of a butterfly’s wings, can lead to big changes in a child’s life.

How each resource is made

  • Grounded in researchEvery resource draws on special education and educational psychology, then gets put into words a child can hold onto.
  • Made for every learnerCaptions, keyboard support, clear text, and calm visuals, so children with different needs can join in.
  • Respectful of privacyNo accounts, no forms, and nothing saved. Children can use the tools without leaving a trace.
  • Honest about its limitsThese are teaching resources. They support the adults in a child’s life and never replace professional care.
