Hello, I’m Jackie

I’m a bilingual speech language pathology assistant in the Antelope Valley. Recently, I’ve seen an increase in parent questions and concerns: how to’s, dos and don’ts, meeting milestone or not etc.

Children don’t come with an instruction manual so I’ve made it my mission to help parents navigate the challenges that come with raising a child. From meeting milestones, to getting a diagnosis, to starting treatments.

Collaborative

I believe in the power of collaborations and getting to know individual family’s needs. I work closely with you to answer your questions and give you multiple examples as well as real life situations. My expectation is to mold my knowledge into your daily routine.

Get to know me

I graduated from California State University, Northridge in December of 2018 and began a career in behavioral therapy. Simultaneously, I worked as an instructional assistant in a spacial day class at a local middle school. I got my speech language pathology assistant license in 2021 and began my life long dream of working with children and educating parents. I’ve had a lot of success and helped many families, but I have also seen a gap in my area that I hope to fill. Through parent education/ training, getting parents involved, I’ve seen a faster success rate in meeting milestone. Consulting parents has quickly become my biggest joy. My goal is to have parents feel informed during and after a diagnosis, during treatments and seeking out additional aide when needed. As part of my SLPA license upkeep, I am continuously looking at up to date research, strategies and seminars to bring to my clients.

While I was in college, I helped my older sister raise her son. Being his primary caregiver gave me a unique insight into parenthood and my own parenting styles as well as observing my family’s. He is now 15 years old and becoming a well rounded young man that I am extremely proud of. He made me understand the challenges parents face daily and use that experience to relate to and educate the families I work with.

What Clients are Saying

“Ms. Jackie has been working with both my son and I a little over 2 years now and I have learned so much from her. When ever I have a concern or question she always answered or directed me to resources where I could find the answers i need. When we received my sons diagnosis she was very helpful when I had questions regarding services and referrals he was getting, because I didn't know what I was doing, i was drowning. She helped my son find his voice, helped us learn how to use an AAC device and ASL. She not only focused on my sons needs but also took the time to check up on me and that meant alot to me since not alot of people see how hard it is to balance therapies, appointments, and day to day schedules. She is very patient and kind and my son loves her. I highly recommend Ms. Jackie to everyone. My family owes her so much and are very grateful that we were able to work with her.”

“Words do not say enough for how amazing Ms. Jackie was when working with our son. She is extremely knowledgeable with Gestalt language, took time to check in on our sons progress, flexible on session formats, and adjusted sessions to match the mood our son was in for that day.”

FAQ

  • First things first, don't be nervous. We'll start with a free consultation to determine where and how I can help. Many time parents already know what to do and want someone to reassure them. Set up a free session and we can go from there.

  • All consultations are via video conferences unless otherwise agreed to. First, you schedule a free 15 minute consultation at a day and time that works for you, then I email you a Zoom link or a Google Meets link.

  • Awesome! No need to book more sessions or consultations. You're always welcome to come back and start a 30 minute consultation at anytime. I would appreciate you leaving a review and sharing my page with friends and family.

  • Prices are based on your needs and availability. We start with a free 15 minute consultation. As I grow I will offer more packages. Right now, a 30 minute session is $60 after initial consultation.

  • Unfortunately, I do not work with insurances. It is a private pay service but I do offer a free 1:1 15 minute consultation to get you started.
