Biography

Dr. Bonnie Cohen-Greenberg received her Doctorate in Educational Leadership in 2008, her Master’s degree in Special Education in 1979 with additional course work in assessment and the teaching of reading. She took additional coursework to become certified to work with children with orthopedic and health impairments from Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA in 1991.

Dr. Bonnie has taught students with learning disabilities in a variety of public and private settings since that time. She worked as an educational evaluator for the City of New York in 1979, where she assessed students to determine whether or not they had a learning disability. She is a member of the Association of Educational Therapists. Dr. Bonnie has been in this field, in many different capacities, for over 32 years. She is now joined by writing coaches, early intervention specialists, and tutors who specialize in all of the secondary level content areas.
