Hi, my name is Jessica Shalongo (Bendolph) and I am the Occupational Therapist for the Early Intervention Program.  I graduated from Wesley College with my Masters in Occupational Therapy and Delaware State University with my Bachelor of Science degree.  I am very excited about starting my second year with the Early Intervention Program and am looking forward to assisting all our kiddos via a tier 1 approach this school year.  This past August i got married to my husband, Sika Bendolph (who is a PE and Health teacher at Dover Air Force Mase Middle School).  We have two dogs named Anakin & Padme.  Anakin is 3 years old and is a shelti-lab mix.  Padme is 5 years old and is a terrier mix.  In my free time i love to go to the beach, Harvest Ridge Winery, hangout with family and friends and relax on the couch while watching shows and movies.
