Lori Harris

Lori has been in the Special Education field for the past 10 years as the Executive Director of a non-profit organization, Our World at H.O.P.E. Park - dedicated to the well-being and advancement of the special needs community. At OWHP, Lori hosted events for the special needs community, fundraised, worked in conjunction with the City of McDonough to build a half million dollar all accessible all-inclusive playground, created community awareness, and started a private school for children with special needs and learning disabilities. At this school, she started the ICONIX® program that integrated the neurological hierarchies of learning into the classrooms and saw amazing results!

As homeschool parents, Lori and her husband learned first-hand how challenging homeschooling can be! Not knowing what to do or where to begin, they had a lot to learn, particularly since they were dealing with a super smart child who was struggling with academics. It was during the homeschooling years that they discovered ICONIX®. When

Lori started the school, she brought ICONIX® to the game – which really meant becoming a Developmental Educator, learning the natural neurological development of all humans and how to make sure that the child’s developmental maturation matched the academic demands being placed on the child. This understanding created a suddenly successful student out of her son years earlier, and consequently, out of several of the students at the special needs school.

Lori recently stepped out of her role at the school to build her ICONIX® Learning Clinic in Atlanta and help create awareness of the ICONIX® methodology. You will often hear her tell the people in her community, “While I was at the school, I could help up to forty children each year. Now, the number of struggling learners I can help has become UNLIMITED! And THAT makes my heart happy!”
