Participant Best of All: Jenna Brennan

This months participant ‘Best of All’ goes to Jenna Brennan. Jenna has been taking part in various 1-on-1 programs at GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa for many years and recently made noticeable progress in our 1-on-1 Speech Program. Both Jenna’s mom Susan and Speech coordinator Kyle Hollis have verbalized that Jenna has been able to apply real world concepts having to do with the passage of time, sequence, and other “temporal concepts”. With Jenna now strongly communicating what is next, soon and later in her daily/ weekly schedule, Jenna’s verbal and written communication has improved. 

Furthermore, Jenna has made strides in everyday occurrences such as correctly addressing a question, using proper pronouns when conversing or even becoming more emboldened to confidently self-advocate (vs. shutting down) during personally stressful events. So for this reason, we are celebrating Jenna!
