Empowering Parents, Educators, & Professionals Who Support Military Children
Military families navigate a world of constant change—PCS moves, deployments, shifting support systems, and new educational environments. These transitions deeply affect children’s communication, behavior, and emotional well-being. Providing the right training for the adults who support them makes all the difference.
At Courageous Communicators, Jordyn Sheriff, M.S., CCC-SLP—licensed speech-language pathologist, IEP advocate, military spouse, and specialist in military family support—offers evidence-based, practical, and collaborative presentations designed to strengthen the entire support team serving each military child.
