In schools in Antigua how do you identify students with language delays? When you notice a student with deficits, what do you typically do? Is there a protocol in the schools? Does special ed cater to a specified severity level? What’s the policies of the special education department? Like how does it work? Asking for myself. Feel free to DM me to provide me with some education. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾

I don’t think words can express how I feel! I know my work is important but other people thought so too!!! It took a minute for me to soak it in though 🥹🥹

ASHA 2025 owes me nothing. I am blessed to work in a place where I can spread my wings and the Lord really provided for this moment.
Those who know me know my face stays serious and I do not talk to people, but baby I had no choice but to network and I actually enjoyed it a little bit.

I met mentors, friends, creators, innovators, and folks I have admired for years. I even had people crying and fan girling and I stood there like… huh?

My NEU family, my day ones, and every new connection made this experience unforgettable. The table has been set for me and I am pulling up a chair.

2026 is about to be a full movie.

In 2005, I left Antigua with a suitcase full of hope and not a clue what I was going to study.
I thought I wanted to be a pediatrician… but I dropped chemistry and biology in high school……so that was short-lived). If we’re being honest it changed a few times …..from AuD to ENT (notice how it was always a health science 🤔

Thankfully, I’ve got siblings who are older, wiser, and very BOSSY (whatever they told mommy and daddy, was what I was expected to do). It was my sister who charted a new course for me, which started with Linguistics, then pivoting to Communication Sciences and Disorders. Honestly, I had zero idea what a Speech-Language Pathologist even was back then. But fast forward, and I can’t imagine being anything else.

I did the schooling, the internships, the late-night papers…..ya’ll wouldn’t believe it, but I’m still taking courses!!!! Deep down, I’m a proud nerd…… but we don’t need to talk about that😉

Over the years, I’ve watched my dreams shift and grow….(there is one thing that’s constant but He said not yet)….. and now, 20 years later, I stand here grounded in grace, rooted in purpose, and overflowing with gratitude. What started as uncertainty has become a calling.

Today, I’m thrilled (and a little…..nah im kidding ALOT…… in awe) to share that I’ve officially joined academia, planted in the rich soil of Husky Nation as an Assistant Clinical Professor!🙌🏾🎉

This chapter is called “God’s doing it again.”
I can’t wait to see what He writes next.

Jason Bassue Peters in June I said I wanna have a corner office like you, but I don’t want to be the boss. Look at me now, I got city views baby!!!!! 😝😝

👂🏾Happy World Hearing Day! 🦻🏾

Did you know that hearing plays a BIG role in speech and language development? 🤔

Without clear access to sound, children may struggle to develop strong communication skills. That’s why regular hearing screenings are so important! Here’s how they help:

✅ Ruling Out Hearing Issues – Even mild hearing loss can affect how a child hears speech sounds, impacting pronunciation and language growth.

✅ Social & Emotional Development – Kids with hearing difficulties may struggle with confidence and social interactions. Early detection helps them stay engaged with peers!

✅ Academic Success – Hearing is essential for following directions, learning new words, and participating in class. Undiagnosed hearing issues can lead to frustration and learning challenges.

✅ Early Support = Better Outcomes – If a child has hearing loss, early intervention (like hearing aids, assistive tech, or therapy) can make a HUGE difference in their communication and learning journey.

🚫 Don’t wait! Hearing screenings are a simple step toward strong language skills and lifelong success. When was the last time your child’s hearing was checked? Comment below! 👇🏾
