“I have worked with Stefanie for many years. She is exceptional in her ability to link her interventions directly to a student’s individual needs to enhance growth & improvement. She also - this is so critical for a Learning Specialist - has a gift for helping students that have been discouraged about their learning to feel safe, to take academic risks, & develop confidence in their abilities. Stefanie’s willingness to effectively communicate with teachers provides more consistency for her students reinforces her interventions for maximum growth. I can wholeheartedly recommend Stefanie!”

Stefanie Greenberg is the founder of Creative Learning Studio. Students that come to the studio learn best-practice remediation techniques in a warm and supportive environment. Stefanie and her Creative Learning Studio team celebrate individual differences, build upon student’s strengths, and provide tools and strategies that enable each student to thrive. In addition to her private practice, Stefanie is recognized as an expert in her field, often speaking at schools, teacher trainings, and parent education events.
During an initial consultation, Stefanie reviews your child’s educational and developmental history, including psycho-educational testing if available. If applicable, she administers informal testing (to guide instruction), speaks with providers and allied professionals in the student’s life, and devises an individualized plan highlighting areas of instruction for each student.
Stefanie connects with students, builds relationships, and creates customized educational plans prior to working with each student. While Stefanie and her staff are able to help students with classwork, the majority of time in the studio consists of using research-based, best-practice programs, individually tailored to each student’s needs.
