About the Author: Jourdan Saunders, M.S, CF-SLP, received her Master’s degree at Loyola University in Maryland. She is a contract Speech Language Pathologist for EBS Healthcare, working in Miami Dade County Public School System. She is the creator of the website, Futureslps.com and has a blog that is linked to her website. She created the website to provide resources, inspiration and motivation for individuals who have chosen to major in the field of Speech Language Pathology. Futureslps.com is directed towards students, but anyone can benefit from the resources provided on the site. Jourdan believes that speech creates a link to connect each individual in some unique way, yet our use of language is a major factor in defining us all as individuals. When interconnecting the two it creates a powerful force that can influence others in ways unimaginable. Her passion to help others is strong because speech and language are used every day and she enjoys helping others achieve various goals to help them feel better about themselves or to help them excel in life. Jourdan has a gymnastics background of 23 years and is looking forward to developing gymnastics programs for children with special needs.
