About Us
Hi there!
My name is Dana Daniels (she/her) M.Ed., OCT & I'm the founder of Blue Sky Learning.
Building Blue Sky Learning Tkaronto/Toronto-based services has been my entrepreneurial dream of a lifetime. I desired to cultivate an inclusive space where equity, diversity & wellbeing thrive. My lived-experience, local teaching roles, international leadership & extensive experience supporting disabled folks, were all foundational moments embedded into the development
of this initiative for accessibility.
Team members embody values of compassion, empathy, and person-centred approaches. We give the opportunity for students, professionals, parental guardian(s), and educators to connect with us regarding individual concerns & areas of growth. We strive to provide service where clients feel safe, supported & intersectionally understood. We reduce stigma & shame cycles, deepen client understanding of internalized ableism & empower areas of avoidance to increase your personal value of motivation.
Thanks so much for stopping in because that in itself is progress!

CLIENT REVIEWS
DARREN, STUDENT
"I worked with Dana & her team as a mature student going to university in his 40's. I really appreciated their patience and approach and the ways they validated how frustrating it was to be in learning environments that don't support disabled people. Dana & Ellie are great coaches and I couldn't be happier with the support I have received!"
CHARLES, PROFESSIONAL
I would definitely recommend Blue Sky Learning to anyone looking to manage their ADHD symptoms. Before working with Dana, I felt extremely disorganized and defeated. Dana helped me understand what my specific struggles were and how they affected my quality of life. She even helped me release the stigma that I carried about having ADHD. Since then, I feel so much more empowered. I understand how my personal operating system works, and have the tools to overcome new obstacles. I am truly grateful for her kindness and expertise.
MARYAM, EDUCATOR
"Working with Blue Sky Learning has been phenomenal. Their expertise and equitable knowledge has helped me shape a better classroom for all types of learners in my class. I will definitely continue working with Blue Sky Learning.
I highly recommend it!"
