Educate2Learn

Shawn Ostrower founded Educate2Learn in 2005. Living in New York City clients would come to her with a diagnosis, also known as a “label”, given to them by a Psychologist or an ED.D, yet they wouldn’t know what to do next. Shawn’s ability to explain the diagnosis and then provide them with a lucid “plan” to work through their struggles for continued growth and success was quickly sought after. She started working with children and found future lawyers, doctors, and business candidates contacting her to assist them through their education. In 2008 Shawn attended many mommy and me classes and discovered families flocking to her to provide them with a structured plan for child rearing, developmental delays, and behavior issues. Shawn realized that with guidance, structure, and knowledge families could be given tools and techniques to handle the many stressors that are associated with having children. 

Philosophy

The philosophy behind Educate2Learn is learning “how to learn.” When strengths are identified and utilized to compensate for weakness only then can full potential be reached maximizing self-confidence. After assessing all areas of the developmental domains an individualized “plan” can be created to maximize progress.

This thinking can be applied to families looking for answers regarding the following:

• child rearing
• behavior problems
• developmental delays/questions
• child or adult diagnosed with a disability
• students struggling in school
• students homebound for medical needs
