Meet Deborah McNelis
Deborah is the creator/owner of braininsights®. She is an author, speaker, educator and parent. Her passion is to achieve the best possible outcome for all children. This focus started early and has not wavered. ![deb_270b[1].jpg](/files/deb_270b[1].jpg "deb_270b[1].jpg")
It is Deborah's belief that every child has great potential that can be developed when we have an understanding of how children's brains develop. Deborah has devoted her life to providing programs and materials that create this awareness for parents and educators.
Deborah has taught kindergarten, and pre-school. She has also created an innovative community based program called, Family Network. This service provided information and resources to parents and educators by pulling the entire community together in support of the needs of families. She has been the coordinator of a family literacy program that provided high school completion and English as a second language, early childhood education and parent education, for in-need families. This included creating a jail parent program, a home tutoring program, and an at-risk teens parenting program.
She taught in the early childhood associate degree program for several years and most recently has, as the early childhood specialist for the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, provided numerous presentations on brain development.
Materials, new programs and curriculums have been created in all of these positions. Each of these focused on promoting the potential in learners. In addition Deborah has written several articles and newsletters.
