“One second - who are you?”
We’re Hanna and Ben Baer - an Educational Therapist and Learning Specialist, and parents to two wonderful daughters.
We’ve spent the past 20 years helping kids who were “falling through the cracks” to find their inner strength and discover a world where they could learn and live.
​
Our thirst to figure out what gets in the way of kids reaching their full potential sparked our own individual journey of education, training, and enrichment. We’ve developed a deep, broad, and dare we say one-of-a-kind approach to helping kids thrive.
Hanna:
"I became a qualified special education teacher with the determination to assist children in overcoming their learning, behavioral, and emotional challenges. However, despite my training, I felt ill-equipped to truly help my students. It was disheartening to witness them continue to struggle. I wanted to shift my focus away from the "labels" that society placed on them and explore additional ways to support them. This pursuit led me to become a certified Brain Stimulation Method de Jong Therapist in Holland, as well as a Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment Mediator. Additionally, I studied the Interactive Metronome and the Johansen Individual Auditory Stimulation Method. Finally, I had acquired the tools necessary to support the holistic development of these children by addressing the connection between their brain and body. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to utilize my education and intuition to make a profound and lasting impact on the lives of these children."

Ben:
Ben's journey began in the classroom, where he aimed to understand how children learn and the challenges they face. Inspired by Reuven Feuerstein PhD, Z”L, he explored ‘Dynamic Intervention and Assessment,’ leading to a 12 partnership with the Feuerstein Institute and earning a Master’s Degree in Child Development. Using his knowledge, he witnessed great progress in children. Upon returning to Canada, he became the Director of The Pediatric Developmental Center in Montreal, leading a team to make a positive impact on young lives.
