💎 We’re thrilled to announce the third and final keynote speaker for the 2025 NILD Annual Conference — Jenny Hornby, M.A., LPC-S!
In her keynote, “Treasure: Power and Purpose of the Educator–Student Relationship,” Jenny will explore one of the most valuable—and often underestimated—resources in educational intervention: relationship.
She reminds us that the educator–student connection isn’t peripheral; it’s foundational. In this relational space, trust grows, risk-taking is encouraged, and meaningful learning becomes possible.
As one of Dr. Kathy Hopkins’ first educational therapy students, Jenny brings unique insight and heartfelt stories from her own journey—illustrating the transformative power of authentic connection. Now a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tidewater, Virginia, and author of Made For This, she helps families restore connection and heal broken relationships.
✨ Don’t miss this inspiring keynote that celebrates the true treasure of education: relationship.
