ABOUT US

Meet Our Founder

Sam Katel founded KINDER to bridge the gap between psychological and special education support. As an elementary school student, Sam noticed that the services for neurodivergent students were insufficient in serving the needs of her classmates and promoting their strengths. She took matters into her own hands, training herself in various therapies and special education practices. Over the course of 13 years, Sam brought this knowledge to various schools and therapeutic programs across New York where she got to work with thousands of students who have continue to shape her practice, research, and advocacy. Sam hopes to expand her reach to more students like yours.
