Jackie Williams, Ed.D


Jackie Williams, Ed.D., is a recently retired school administrator with a B.S. in special education, and both a master’s degree and a doctorate in educational leadership. During her 32 years as a special educator, curriculum specialist, and principal, Dr. Williams was dedicated to developing and promoting education’s best practices with the goal of helping all children love learning and achieve success in school and in life. Her interest in the application of current brain research in the educational setting led her to neurofeedback, and subsequently the opportunity as a school director to collaborate with Focus Centers to develop a neurofeedback lab in her school. Dr. Williams hopes to continue to help children (and adults) to fulfill their potential in her new part-time role as an educational consultant and neurofeedback technician at Focus Centers.
