Jenny Sbei, OTR/L

Jenny earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Occupational therapy from Elizabethtown College. She has 24 years of experience working as an Occupational Therapist in a variety of settings, including inpatient neuro-rehabilitation and orthopedic rehabilitation, acute care, NICU, and outpatient settings. 12 years ago, Jenny became a school based OT working in the Pennsylvania public school system; providing services to children K-12 grade with learning disabilities, including ADHD, Dylsexia, Autism, and sensory integration deficits just to name a few.  Jenny became more interested in cognitive skills, eye hand coordination and vision, specifically visual perceptual skills.  So many students struggle academically and are frustrated with school due to undiagnosed visual and auditory processing issues. 

In 2015, Jenny attended Kathy Johnson’s course on Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia and found a lot of useful information and strategies with practical applications to use with her students at school.  This is where she was introduced to Pyramid of Potential’s Brain training and re-introduced to the primitive reflexes.  Upon taking the brain training herself in 2016, Jenny observed marked improvement with her own memory, organization and processing speed.  Jenny has witnessed the success first hand in her brain training clients and students. Brain training and the premise that processing speed, working memory and visual and auditory processing skills, logic and reasoning are brain skills that can be worked on and improved brings hope and empowerment to students.  It has been amazing to see confidence improve with each client. This program is a gift to students and parents, and adults who want to stop age related decline.

Although an OT by trade, working in public schools for the last 15 years has honed my expertise for helping children with executive functioning skills, sensory regulation, visual motor limitations, motor planning, processing speed and visual perceptual challenges that impede a learner’s ability to fully engage and access their academic program.
