The Heart Behind the Support

Jenifer Lau MS-SLP, BCASE, Owner: With over 25 years immersed in the field of education, I bring a unique and deeply empathetic perspective to supporting families of children with learning challenges and disabilities. As a former Speech and Language Therapist, I have extensive experience advocating for the needs of students within educational teams, providing crucial support, consultation, and coaching to their families. My approach is rooted in active listening and a genuine understanding of the overwhelming realities many parents face – a perspective amplified by my personal journey as a parent to a child with learning difficulties. Holding a Board Certification in Special Education Advocacy through the National Association of Special Education Teachers and American Academy of Special Education Professionals, and maintaining memberships in esteemed organizations such as the National Organization of Disorders of the Corpus Callosum, National Association of Special Education Teachers, Learning Disabilities Association of America, and the International Dyslexia Association, among others, I am deeply connected to the latest research and best practices in the field. I am adept at crafting comprehensive and effective IEPs, expertly managing complex paperwork and data, and skillfully analyzing information to identify key areas for improvement. I am committed to asking the insightful questions and collaborating with educational teams to ensure clear, accurate information is shared and that every child receives the individualized support they deserve.

My Passion

My passion stems from a deep-seated belief that every individual, regardless of their learning style or developmental challenge, possesses the capacity to learn and thrive when provided with the right supports. Knowing firsthand the intense demands, emotional toll and time commitment involved in parenting a child with unique learning needs, I am driven to offer accessible and comprehensive services to all parents who require assistance, ensuring these supports are within reach for all families, of all income levels.  My unwavering commitment is to ease the anxieties, fears, and feelings of overwhelm, and to advocate tirelessly to ensure the best possible learning outcomes for every student with disabilities.  My driving force is the belief in the fundamental right of children with disabilities to not only participate, but truly thrive within the educational system, making meaningful progress and reaching their full potential, while their parents feel informed, supported, and empowered.

My Goals

Through Empower Educational Support Services, LLC, my primary goal is to empower parents of children with learning challenges and disabilities by offering support that simplifies the often overwhelming tasks of data and paperwork management and providing strong advocacy for their children’s educational needs.  I aim to collaborate closely with families, and strive to be a trusted resource, offering accessible information and delivering practical support that eases your daily burdens and ensures your child receives the tailored education they deserve, leading to improved educational outcomes. Through the newsletter, and of course direct services, I aim to build a supportive community and equip you with the tools and knowledge to navigate the educational journey with greater confidence and peace of mind.
