Lynn Stoll Switzer was a visionary professor in the field of Studies in Education. Specifically, she focused on children with learning disabilities and its effect on the family as a whole, not just the child. She noted that parents of children with learning disabilities may benefit from psychological support and assistance. Thus, rather than trying to “fix” the child with learning disabilities, her studies concluded that parents, utilizing their internal resources, can help the identified child reach his or her highest potential. 

Lynn Stoll Switzer was born in Westchester, NY in 1946 and passed away in Palm Beach, FL in 1991. She was a PHD graduate, served as consultant to the Chicago Board of Education and the University of Miami, and held visiting professorships and lecture positions at the University of Guelph, University of Toronto and Rollins College. Lynn will be best remembered for her boundless energy, flair for wearing loud colors, strong organization skills, thoughtfulness and love for her family.
