Educators in Private Practice, 54 Elizabeth Cir, Greenbrae, CA 94904, US

Michele Lane's Learning Center celebrated thirty years in business in 2010. The Center provides educational evaluations and often works hand-in-hand with psychologists and psychiatrists. Her clients range in age from preschool to adults, but she works mostly with special-needs children. She helps design individualized education plans and meets often with teachers and parents. She tutors kids in content areas that have been specified in those plans. Lane has a master's degree in special education from Dominican University of California and is certified by the Association of Education Therapists. She is an expert on the tax implications of having a child qualified as learning disabled, and she regularly consults on educational programs and the integration of learning with physical movement. Lane is a fifth-generation Marin resident who works out of an office behind her house on Novato's northwest side, halfway between Pleasant Valley Elementary School and San Marin High School.
