Our Story

United by a Passion for Education

After working together for several years, Jennifer Hennessey and Darlene Diaz united their shared passion for education and student advocacy. Drawing on over 25 years of educational experience, they founded J & D Educational Solutions Group to provide individualized educational solutions, empower families, and ensure every learner has the opportunity to succeed.

About Us

Two Founders. Two Dedicated Student Advocates.

Jennifer Hennessey, M.Ed.

ESE Specialist & Student Advocate

Jennifer specializes in Exceptional Student Education, IEP development support and reviews, ESE advocacy, compliance consulting, and case management. Dedicated to supporting students with diverse learning needs, she works closely with families to develop personalized educational strategies, recommend appropriate accommodations, and advocate for meaningful learning opportunities.
