Dr. McCarthy knew from her extensive teaching experience there had to be a style of learning that would reach all students.  Traditional lessons taught with lectures, tests and rote memorization might work for some students while others need instruction with interaction and hands on activities.  Armed with the desire to help every student learn, Dr. McCarthy founded About Learning in 1979.
