Lauren Manni Friedman, LCSW graduated from Eliot-Pearson with a B.A. in
1997. She began her career with her senior year internship as a counselor at
The Academy North in Reading and Danvers, which turned into her first
full-time job after graduation. Her responsibilities there included
co-leading social skills groups for children with mild to moderate special
needs both in a school setting and after-school, conducting initial
interviews, case management, billing and enrollment. Next, Lauren worked for
two years as a preschool teacher at MGH Children's Center in Charlestown.
Her life soon relocated her to Houston, TX where she worked as the special
needs resource specialist for Initiatives for Children, a child care search
and quality improvement agency. Her role was to assist parents of children
with special needs in finding appropriate child care placements and
resources, as well as network with others in the field promoting child
advocacy in the greater Houston area. Shortly thereafter, she enrolled at
The University of Texas at Austin and completed her Master of Science in
Social Work. Just after graduating, she embarked on the next step in her
child development career when she became a Mom. Since then Lauren has
alternated between at-home motherhood & working outside the home. She is
currently home on maternity leave with her two children ages 4 ½ and 15
months but will return to her other full-time job this fall as the social
