Hi, I'm Jinean!
As a dedicated speech-language pathologist, I've spent years witnessing the transformative power of effective communication. I created the 'Communicate with Confidence' course to share my expertise with parents like you, so every child can embrace their unique voice. Let's embark on this journey together
In a city as big as New York, with around 1.6M kids in school, it's estimated that over 100,000 might have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). If you're a parent seeking guidance, my course is designed to support and empower you on this journey.
DLD Explained:
- More than just vocabulary struggles.
- Difficulties with forming sentences.
- Challenges in understanding instructions.
- Issues expressing thoughts and ideas clearly.
- A silent struggle in bright minds.
As parents, understanding DLD can be your first powerful step in enabling your child to overcome these hurdles. The "Communicate with Confidence" course provides you with strategies and supports that enable you to be the pillar your child leans on as they work towards independence.
