Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Advisor to Betteroo
Jennifer Jaye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and advisor to Betteroo, specializing in parent coaching, sensory and behavioral differences, and practical, family-centered intervention.
For over 16 years, Jennifer has worked in early childhood. She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from The George Washington University and her master’s in clinical social work from Columbia University School of Social Work in 2009. Her career across neurodivergent preschools and school-age programs has spanned individual and group counseling, classroom and family support, parent advocacy, and early childhood mental health consultation for teachers and program directors.
Jennifer is a trained DIR/Floortime clinician, and that comprehensive model continues to guide her practice. Years of collaboration with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, teachers, and medical professionals give her a holistic understanding of how families navigate developmental complexity.
As a Genius of Play Ambassador with The Toy Association, Jennifer also supports the field by building awareness of play as a critical part of child development. At Betteroo, she advises on content and parent-facing guidance that treats sleep, behavior, and development as one connected system.
Jennifer is available for interviews on parent coaching, sensory and behavioral differences in early childhood, neurodivergent family support, and the role of play in healthy development.
