About Amy F. Weinberger

 

As a neuro-educator, Amy has had the privilege of creating and developing two remarkable schools: The GAP School (2004) and The Thinking Center Academy (2009). Prior to The GAP School, Amy  partnered with a speech/language pathologist and co-founded Camp Arrow (1999), a summer camp for kids who didn't fit into the mainstream day camping experience. She is also credited for establishing the first camp (2005)  in Sarasota devoted to social skills training which is housed at The GAP School.  All of these projects have directly benefited the community positively and have helped well over 7000 students become better readers, students and thinkers! 

 

As a graduate of Emory University with a teaching certification from Georgia State University, her passion for teaching began long before any formal education. She credits her teaching career to her own love of learning, her  patient  teachers, her mom, dad and grandparents, and her own compassion for students who struggle with learning as she did.

​

Currently, Amy delivers reading and cognitive training via Skype. Fifty percent of her clients interact using the web. "It is efficient, personal, convenient and empowers students to use technology to help them progress faster. It engages students differently with the same results," remarks Weinberger. Amy is a graduate student at Wilkes University in Instructional Technology.



Amy is a certified Phono-Graphix Reading Therapist, HANDLE Screener, P.A.C.E. (Processing & Cognitive Enhancement) cognitive trainer, and a Highlands Certified Affiliate. She and her husband reside in Sarasota, FL and have two teenagers - sophomores in college and high school.
