Jessica Ryan is a Speech Therapist on Childhaven’s ESIT Team. After working in the school system, a desire to work closer with families and build upon their strengths brought her to ESIT. A passion for helping children communicate, gain social-emotional skills, and actively engage with their family guides her work in speech-language therapy. She believes strongly in assisting parents on advocating for their child in navigating the medical and school system. Jessica is trained in Promoting First Relationships to promote development in social-emotional skills through responsive, nurturing relationships between parents and their children. She also is CHERISH trained working with families in out-of-home placements and involved in the child welfare system. When not working with children and families, Jessica enjoys playing with her dog, watching horror movies, reading books, and talking to her nephews.
