Jennifer Dustow is an American cognitive behavioral learning specialist and researcher specializing in autism.[1][2][3] She is known for her work in research and the development of the H.A.P.P.Y. Exercise System, a set of midline exercises designed to enhance focus and cognitive function.
Early life and education
Jennifer Dustow holds a Doctorate in Education from Argosy University,[4] a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a specialization in child development and family counseling, and a master's degree in Organizational Management.[5]
Career
Dustow works with students in adolescent day treatment programs, addressing various conditions including ADHD, conduct disorder, autism spectrum, oppositional defiant, impulse control, specific learning disability (SLD), and unclassified behavior and emotional disorders.[5]
She founded and directs the nonprofit Cornerstone Educational Preschool,[5][4][6] which prioritizes integrating children with autism into inclusive educational settings.[7] The programs at the preschool target areas impacted by autism, including communication, social interaction, and creative play.
Research
Dustow's research highlights the potential of midline exercises to improve cognitive functions in individuals with autism.[4][3][6] Her book, Embracing Calmness: The MLE Program Through Midline Exercises, provides guidance on learning and teaching MLE and H.A.P.P.Y. exercises.[4][8][9] This research emphasizes the effectiveness of the H.A.P.P.Y. Exercise System in addressing off-task behavior in children on the autism spectrum, serving as a non-drug intervention aimed at promoting on-task behavior.[1][7][3]
Happy DRJ App
Dustow has developed the Happy DRJ app to address some of the obstacles in seeking autism treatments.[10][11] The app provides midline exercises (MLE) and social stories, designed to support communication between the left and right brain hemispheres and potentially improve focus in children diagnosed with autism.[1][12][3]
Personal life
Jennifer Dustow practices in Lanai City, Hawaii, working with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.[1][7][13][3]
