The honor recognizes Shifrin's dedication and commitment over the past 30 years to educating students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.
"Ben Shifrin is truly an asset to education in this country," said Stephen Peregoy, executive director, IDA. "His unwavering commitment to helping students with dyslexia and his passion for helping students achieve their full potential is truly inspiring. His knowledge and understanding of how a dyslexic mind works is amazing, and his ability to relate to students and their struggles with dyslexia is something that uniquely qualifies him as an educator."
Michael Meisel, Chairman of the Jemicy Board of Trustees, stated, "It is our great fortune to have someone with Ben's outstanding qualifications representing Jemicy. The entire Jemicy community has benefited tremendously as a result of his innovative thinking and dedication to helping students."
Shifrin has served on the Board of Directors of the International Dyslexia Association since 2009 and is currently a member of its Executive Board of Directors. Prior to becoming head of the Jemicy School in 2002, Shifrin lived and worked in California, where he spent fourteen years serving as a special education teacher and administrator in the Unified School District of Los Angeles. He later served as the Head of Westmark School, one of California's premier institutions for students with learning differences.
Jemicy School, founded in 1973, provides a highly individualized, flexible, and challenging education for above-average to gifted college-bound students with dyslexia or other related language-based learning differences.
