Raquel Catalano

Founder and Executive Director 

A passionate advocate for special needs education, I understand first hand that intelligence and genius can take many forms. My passion for advocacy of others has manifested in many forms. I have turned this passion into professional growth which has led me to achieve notable status as a top-tier entrepreneur in multiple fields. Throughout my career I have found significant success in real estate, start-ups, and philanthropic pursuits. 

Currently, I focus my passion and resources on building a new world and education system so that my son and daughter and other children are awarded opportunities to reach their full potential. I co-founded Power Plus Learning LLC to be a support system for parents navigating the education system. It has become a valuable resource during the unprecedented virtual learning needs of 2020.
