Removing the Stumbling Block
LISA FRIEDMAN
As an award-winning Disability Inclusion Expert I know that each of us has a right to belong.
I have been working with faith communities, organizations, schools, and camps for over twenty years; guiding staff, clergy, and families in the development of genuine inclusive practice.
Through interactive workshops, dialogue, and keynote speeches I help organizations to actively live their values.
​
My broad expertise in psychology, counseling, education, and Jewish communal life enables me to hone interactive and effective training sessions for all skill levels. A hallmark of my sessions is the seamless blending of both modeling and skill-building.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Counseling Psychology, both from Rutgers University. I am certified in Mental Health First Aid, both elementary and special education, and I have extensive experience teaching and coaching families and learners of all ages.
​
I have written extensively on the topic of disability inclusion and I am available to develop curriculum in the area of disability inclusion. I invite you to read my blog: Removing the Stumbling Block.
Publications and organizations to feature my work include:
