Nurturing Speech and Feeding Development Across the Lifespan
As a speech-language pathologist, Jean has worked in a variety of settings across the lifespan, including early childhood intervention, outpatient and private clinics, public schools, adult and pediatric inpatient rehabilitation units, skilled nursing facilities and pediatric acute care.
Currently, Jean primarily focuses on supporting parents of breastfed and bottle-fed infants, as well as infants and toddlers who have difficulty transitioning to solids and oral aversion. Jean also works closely with medically fragile infants and children who have tracheostomy tubes and weaning of feeding tubes. When Jean works with her patients, her goal is for them to feel empowered to advocate for their needs and to have an active role in their therapy.
