Bernadette (Bunny) Ucko is the clinical director and owner of The Brain Train Learning Center. She started her career as a teacher after graduating from Wheelock College in 1974. While she was teaching kindergarten in New York City, she realized that she could help individual children by training their processing skills and not just by teaching them how to read. This realization led her to further study at Bank Street College and Columbia University.
