Jennifer has been dreaming up a podcast to support parents, and is thrilled to have landed at Radius to collaborate and record. Her goal is to provide a nonjudgmental, friendly space for parents and teachers to ask questions about their child’s learning, development, and behavior. Whether it is for general advice, a second opinion, or starting point, Jen is here to help!
