About Dr. Henderson

Meet Dr. Henderson

Greetings! It is my utmost pleasure to introduce myself. I am Dr. J. Henderson, a humble yet seasoned educator with over a decade of experience across a myriad of educational landscapes. I have had the great fortune of traversing nearly every corner of the educational sphere—teaching all grades from kindergarten through high school, venturing into the world of online learning, and even being called upon to serve as an adjunct professor. Throughout my journey, I had the pleasure of attaining a Master’s Degree in Special Education, complemented by a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction, with a refined focus on the nuances of Special Education.

Throughout my journey, I have held, and continue to maintain, licensure in both special and general education across multiple states. This ongoing certification allows me to support learners with diverse needs in a wide range of settings. Whether coaching students on the field or guiding them through academic challenges, my experience has allowed me to develop a comprehensive and adaptable approach to education, always with the goal of nurturing growth and success.

At Illuminated Minds, my mission is to provide families with the advocacy and support they need to navigate the complexities of the educational system. My work is fueled by a deep commitment to ensuring that each student receives the tailored attention and services they deserve, whether through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 Plans, or specialized support strategies.

Together, we can illuminate the path to your child’s educational success, guided by expertise, care, and an unwavering dedication to seeing each learner thrive.
