Sarah Howard develops larger solutions in the changing world of education, especially in the area of learning disability, giftedness, social difficulties, and ADHD. She provides a crucial link between governing bodies, schools, psychologists, remediation facilities, students and their families.

Sarah created Mosaic Education Solutions after seeing the need for a connecting force between people and resources. As a big picture thinker Sarah thrives on creating specialized education plans for students, taking into consideration their interests and unique strengths to create a successful learning path. As well, she can provide solutions to schools who are interested in improving their special education service delivery and student documentation. Solution-focused, Sarah likes to find concrete, step-by-step answers that are easily executable, often by connecting pre-existing resources into a new model.

Sarah brings to the table a wealth of both education and experience. She is currently adding to her Bachelor's Degree in Education by completing a Master's Degree in Special Education at UBC with a focus on Learning Disabilities and Assessment. As the former director of Eaton Learning Centre (ELC) Sarah worked in conjunction with licensed BC Psychologists to administer A and B level measures, write clear, functional psycho-educational assessment reports and provide follow-up services to hundreds of families throughout British Columbia. Families appreciated Sarah's unique ability to communicate the results of a psycho-educational assessment report in a manner they could easily understand.

Sarah has recently worked with Fraser Academy as Director of Transition Services, helping prepare students for transition from high school to the work force or post-secondary education. She then worked with Fraser Academy as a Learning Specialist, training staff in Transition Services and consulting on Ministry of Education criteria and best practices for student with learning difficulties. Prior to her work at ELC and Fraser Academy, Sarah worked as a classroom teacher for 4 years. On a more personal note, Sarah has learned a great deal from navigating the public and private education systems in BC as the mother of a GLD student.
