Greetings! My name is Jasmin, and I'm currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology at San Jose State University. I received my B. A. in Human Development (with an emphasis on Education Studies and Language/Literacy development) from UC San Diego. I also received a Master's Certificate for Communication Disorders from Cal State LA.

Because of my occupational and academic experiences, I am very familiar with children's development in the following areas: cognitive, motor, speech, and language. I provide quality care to children by teaching and challenging them to develop in those areas. I am also patient, caring, and sensitive towards young children's needs.

I speak Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, and have basic knowledge of American Sign Language (which I typically use for prompting purposes during therapy).

I have worked with typically developing children, as well as children with special needs, including severe- to high-functioning children with autism, and children with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, expressive-receptive language disorder, and articulation and phonological disorder.

Below is a brief list of my work experiences:
*Worked with a medically-fragile infant by providing overnight care as well as language and play therapy during the day.
*Worked as a Behavior Therapist for one year while studying in Los Angeles. I provided in-home, one-on-one behavior intervention to children with autism and special needs by utilizing multiple ABA-based teaching strategies.
*Worked as a reading and literacy specialist with K-2nd grade children. I helped them develop stronger literacy skills and phonological awareness through interactive games, reading, and collaborative activities.
*Tutored two pre-kindergarten students; designed and implemented an academic readiness curriculum to best suit their needs. I introduced activities geared towards improving fine motor skills, literacy development, phonological awareness, as well as arithmetic skills.
*Worked as a teaching assistant for two years at an International School. I worked with children from the ages of 3 to 5.
*Taught Mandarin to native and non-native children. Created and implemented curricula and materials to fit each student's needs.
*Mentored third-grade students at a low-income school district in San Diego for an education class. I absolutely adore them and continue to keep in touch with them today.
