Megan shares, “Dr. Dean is our miracle worker. She totally changed the path of my daughter’s life. Dr. Dean encouraged Jaelynn and helped her understand that she could do anything she wanted to do, but she had to do it in the way that worked for her.” Jaelynn not only learned to read and write at grade level, she gained confidence she never had before. Her social life blossomed, she became involved in extracurricular activities, and she’s preparing to be a contestant for the Miss Texas Outstanding Teen pageant, part of the Miss America Organization. Academics play a major part in the contest, and Jaelynn would never have been eligible to enter without the help she received from Dr. Dean.
