Had my son when I was 36 years old in 2012.
Very long labor that ended up being a c-section.
My son was very healthy and normally developing until he was 13 months old.
He had a fall from our bed, just 18" off the ground, and suffered a large brain bleed.
He had an emergency craniotomy and a few days later he had a stroke.
He'll be 12 years old on 10/19/2024.
He still has no functional use of his right arm or hand, but has accomplished so much.
Being a speech therapist was key in early intervention for my son.
I continue to use my over 20 years of experience to help my son and other children.
BIO:
Jeaneen Tang, speech-language pathologist and mother of a special needs child. Along with her over 20 years of experience working with children and adults with neurodiversity, she also has an 11 year old son who is neurodivergent. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and stroke at 13 months old. Her personal and professional relationship with this amazing population has forever changed her. She hopes to change their world too.
She recently published her first book called PLAY DUMB & SABOTAGE. It addresses early language development and is meant to be helpful for parents, caregivers, and educators to work with young children and hopefully decrease the number of children needing speech therapy. Through preventative training, she believes we can achieve success and raise confident communicators.
