Meet Your Instructor Ijenna Aluko, Founder of UniEliCare

My personal journey and experiences with families raising children with developmental disabilities inspired me to create UniEliCare. I understand how challenging it can be for families and caregivers to find the right information, resources, and support. I created this course to provide practical knowledge and confidence to caregivers and Direct Support Professionals supporting children with developmental and unique needs. I’m excited to share this knowledge because every child deserves to be understood, respected, heard, and supported. My goal is simple: to help build a village where every child can thrive and every family knows they are not alone.
