Jenika De Jesus

Jenika is a dedicated and passionate professional in the field of speech-language pathology, committed to helping her clients achieve their maximum communicative potential through a holistic and positive approach. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Cebu Doctors’ University, where she developed a strong foundation in clinical skills and theoretical knowledge. Jenika has gained extensive work experience in both Singapore and the Philippines, enriching her understanding of diverse cultural contexts and enhancing her ability to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. This international exposure has strengthened her adaptability and deepened her commitment to delivering client-centered care.
Her approach to speech-language therapy is rooted in evidence-based methodologies that are thoughtfully tailored to meet each child’s unique needs. Jenika specializes in DIR FloorTime, Developmental Play, and the PROMPT approach—three complementary techniques that support communication, emotional development, and social interaction. DIR FloorTime encourages meaningful relationships and communication through play and emotional connection, while Developmental Play promotes growth through imaginative and child-led interaction. The PROMPT approach, which uses tactile-kinesthetic input to guide speech production, is particularly effective for children with motor speech disorders such as apraxia. These methods collectively empower Jenika to create a nurturing and engaging therapy environment where children can thrive.
Jenika provides personalized support for children with a wide range of speech and language challenges, including those with developmental disabilities, language delays, and speech sound disorders. Her sessions are designed not only to address specific communication goals but also to build a child’s confidence, social skills, and overall well-being. By integrating these therapeutic methods into her practice, Jenika fosters a safe and supportive space that encourages children to express themselves and develop meaningful connections with others. Her work is a reflection of her belief that communication is a vital tool for independence and quality of life, and she strives to help each child reach their full potential.
Beyond her clinical work, Jenika is deeply committed to advocacy within the speech-language pathology profession. As an international member of the Philippine Association of Speech Pathologists (PASP), she actively contributes to initiatives that support underprivileged communities, particularly in the Philippines. Her involvement in these efforts reflects her dedication to promoting equitable access to therapy services and uplifting families who may otherwise face barriers to care. Through advocacy, community outreach, and professional collaboration, Jenika continues to extend her impact beyond the therapy room—furthering her mission to make a lasting and positive difference in the lives of those she serves.
