Bio

Jennifer joined the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (DDBP) in 2005. Her previous experience includes inpatient speech, language, and feeding treatment, as well as public school service. Jennifer appreciates the multi-disciplinary approach of DDBP and it's unique ability to evaluate and treat the whole child.

Jennifer's interest in speech-language pathology stems from her experience as a sibling of a sister and two brothers with Down syndrome. As part of The Jane and Richard Thomas Center for Down Syndrome she enjoys providing treatment in a family centered atmosphere. Her interests include parent-child interaction, feeding, and communication skills for life success.
