  • About
Dan Leibowitz was born and raised on the Connecticut coast and spent much of his childhood in Vermont, where he later earned his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Vermont. After graduating from UVM in 1991 he headed to Taos, New Mexico where he taught skiing for two years. He then pursued his interest in working with kids by earning a Master's in Education and his Connecticut teaching credential. In 1995 he was hired by Weston, CT Public Schools to create and deliver the 6th-grade language arts and study skills curricula. After two years of general education classroom teaching, he relocated to San Francisco, where he soon enrolled in San Francisco State's Special Education Master's and Educational Therapy programs. 

The internet boom of the late 1990s sparked Dan's interest in assistive technology and he quickly developed an expertise in these software and hardware tools. He soon began delivering lively presentations and working with families and schools all over the Bay Area. Dan was hired by Drew High School in 1999 to direct its emerging Learning Support Program and later by the Jewish Community High School to build its Student Support program. After having kids of his own, he worked at Town School as a Learning Specialist. 

Through 20 years of in-depth experience working with students with LDs and ADD, their teachers, parents, and school leaders Dan has developed a keen appreciation for the kinds of challenges these students face, as well as the wide range of helpful tools and instructional methodologies that independent schools can and should implement to support the 
range of learners in their classrooms.

Dan now works and lives in Marin County, CA with his wife and two sons.
