EXPERIENCE
Rosalynn gained a vast amount of knowledge after 17 years of experience in the public school system. Corbella is very lucky to have her on board to advocate for the needs of our children & parents.
She often helps parents navigate the sometimes difficult path of communicating with school administrators regarding accommodations. She works with parents and children regarding 504 plans and teaches children how to advocate for themselves, a skill that empowers children and gives them a sense of ownership over their future.
Her experience at elementary, middle and high school as a teacher, counselor and instructional coach has provided an incredible learning experience. She has helped students deal with many issues including anxiety, depression, bullying, gender identification, and suicidal ideation.
Rosalynn also teaches her clients about growth mindset and uses the Brainology curriculum with those whose fixed mindset may be limiting their potential.
ABOUT
Rosalynn has been married for 20 years and has two wonderful sons ages 16 and 14 and a playful dog named Avena.
