About the store

Ming-Ling has experience working as an NICU nurse, a teacher for children with special needs, and as a speech language pathologist for clients with communication disorders. The clients span a range of ages, and have different levels of difficulty. Their challenges range from aphasia, Down’s Syndrome, learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, hearing impairments and CI, stuttering, cleft palate, autism spectrum, and developmental delays. With over 30 years' experience, Ming-Ling has expanded her professional activities to include second language acquisition, both ESL (English as second language) and CFL (Chinese as a foreign language). After the pandemic, Ming-Ling started delivering her classes virtually and converted her many resources in order to pivot to an online model for her learners. She expanded her resources by continuing to develop and modify them to best suit an online, classroom, home and speech-language therapy environment. Ming-Ling continued to grow her online platform with input from her new team of Canadian and Chinese educators & psychologists.

Additional biographical information

In 2019, before the Covid-19 world outbreak, Ming-Ling travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, and many cities in China. She came across many children with special needs who needed proper interventions and were being underestimated in their potential. Her trip ended with her providing training sessions at local coffee shops and in client/friend homes. She was so attached to these children and passionate to support their success. When travel became difficult due to Covid, Ming-Ling pivoted her in-person classes to an interactive virtual approach. This allowed her to continue helping and serving these students at-a-distance. In September 2021 she began inviting specialists, and their wealth of knowledge to her program. With her team, Ming-Ling began supporting students virtually and embraced this growing educational trend. Motivated by the vision of making the world a more inclusive place for neurodivergent learners, Ming-Ling and her team are prepared to provide the highest quality of service and resources for all individuals in learning Chinese and English.
