Welcome to Unique Differences in Development (UDID)
UDID was created as a result of Jasmyne’s love of sports, her desire to serve special needs youth and her expertise in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Her unique program of shaping children with disabilities has resulted in improved social skills, communication skills, gross motor skills, health and safety awareness and in some cases established lifelong friendships. UDID will also include cheerleading and dance for young girls and adult women.
Testimonials
This is my son first time playing basketball, he referred to himself as a tennis player in the very beginning of his basketball trainings. Amongst other things he was not able to touch the basketball net and now she has developed him to where he’s now able to make baskets. The most important is Jasmyne is not only teaching children how to play basketball, she also teaches children how to be polite. I think this is the coach we need.

I am very impressed by her professionalism, efficiency, and technical skills. Coach Jasmyne is also very strict when needed so it helps keep my son engaged during each class. My son has been taking classes with Coach Jasmyne for about 6 months and I have already seen huge improvements in his ball handing, shooting, and defensive techniques. Thank you Coach Jasmyne!

Jasmyne has been a terrific basketball teacher to my son. She’s committed, patient and very motivational. My teenage son finally enjoys basketball as a result of working with Jasmyne. She’s a truly gifted trainer!

Stories
Trevor had severe hypotonia which delayed his physical movements as a child. Trevor didn't begin to crawl until he was 1.5 years old. Trevor also has bone fusion in his arms and wrist which made it difficult for him to utilize his hands the way other children could. Trevor continues to live with the physical limitations due bone fusion and has had to figure out ways to adapt when he wants to play sports. Trevor is now 10 years old with a passion for basketball. Trevor had to pause on playing youth leave basketball because the game was too fast to comprehend and the coaches were unable to find ways to address his limitation with shooting and dribbling. Trevor requires additional time and attention in which the coaches were unable to provide since there were other children that required their attention. I am grateful for Jasmyne and the UDID organization she created! UDID gave my son the ability to enhance his shooting and dribbling skills and to enjoy basketball again in a setting where he felt confident and excited about learning the game of basketball. Jasmyne is a patient, kind, and skilled athletic trainer. She took the time to get to know about Trevor's disabilities, assess where his needs were, and began teaching him ways to improve his basketball performance. Her high level energy and creative ways of teaching sports skills allowed my son to remain engaged and learn techniques in dribbling and shooting. My son has been thriving in basketball and enjoys playing with Jasmyne any chance he is able to! I think UDID has so much to offer our Special children and I look forward to seeing my son continue his athletic experiences with UDID!

We as a family enjoyed her time with us and were sad to see her go. Prior to her arriving I would say we were enablers and sometimes hurt to our son Junior more than we helped him. Her strategies that incorporated tough love with real world interactions is something we truly respected. Other therapists had come to just play with Junior and put him through the motions; with her we saw a difference. I can say that she allowed him to be and didn’t always prompt him. Life doesn’t prompt you and her methods of not prompting him was something we hadn’t quite experienced. Her and her BCBA brought a cultural challenge to our son where the same thing could be said if I was a therapist to her child. She was different, her hair was different, even her mannerisms and some of our common tongue was different but different or not she was amazing. We enjoyed the flexibility she provided with integrating our children and encouraging outings. Junior was forced and not programmed to think of real-world responses and to show his emotions appropriately. Her methods, strategies and tolerance to our son has made a lasting impact and will forever be a solid foundation in his growth with autism.

Low muscle tone and cognitive disabilities meant many delays. Our son also had 3 holes in his heart, hernia, blood transfusion, and had failed his hearing test. There were many things that we thought our son could not physically or cognitively overcome but with dedication to push him and believe in his abilities, he has proven time and time again to be a rock star! He is currently 6 years old going into first grade. Travis is a happy, kind kid who can read, knows all his sight words, can identify his shapes, sign multiple words, talks in sentences, potty trained, sits and eats at a table each night with his family, swims without floaties, and is active as can be.
The above mentioned accomplishments were only possible by the behavioral training techniques my husband and I were fortunate enough to learn. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world. For children without any diagnosis or disability, parenting is hard enough. I am a mother and educator and had done a lot of research on how to best serve my son. Tackling my sons’ behaviors felt daunting and ultimately like I was being defeated. Jasmyne Randolph helped my husband and I break down the process of how my child learns/develops in unexpected ways. Ms. Randolph walked us through the treatment and therapy process of applied behavior analysis (ABA). I feel very strongly that parent involvement and coaching is critical to a child's development. Jasmyne gave us the tools and knowledge to help our son become a better version of himself. Jasmyne helped us tackle temper tantrums, retaining routine and knowledge and ultimately gaining an understanding of what was expected on a daily basis.

When she 1st came to my house as 1 of my twins ABA therapist she immediately started helping my boy. My son diagnosis was not good. Dr's said my son will never talk, express himself or be a "normal child" in 2 months she was by my side helping him get through potty training and in 2 weeks we did it! His behaviors drastically improved and overall my boy had so much improvement. Not only did she help my son, she was an amazing help to me. She was always there to give me advice and guide me through it all. Later on I found out she was coaching basketball at my oldest daughter's high school. For years I pushed my daughters to be active and join sports, neither of my daughters I was able to convince to join a sport. When telling jasmyne that neither of had any interest to play a sport somehow she convinced not just 1 of my daughters to join basketball but she convinced both of them. She has helped all 4 of my kids so much! I have so much to be grateful for of Jasmyne. She is a heaven sent angel. Amazing therapist, coach and human being.

My son doesn’t usually like coach’s, teachers, or people very often, but with Jasmyne he looks forward to his basketball lessons. Jasmyne works wonderfully with my son. She’s easy going but sets good boundaries and my son surprisingly responds very will to her. Jasmyne is also patient and positive with other students. When I see her on the court with other kids, they always look like they are having fun and Jasmyne always has a smile when working with them. I would definitely recommend her for not only your typical children but neurotypical as well. Ever sense she has been working with my son he looks forward to practice, always comes home in a good mood, his confidence has increased with not only sports but personally, his hand/ eye coronation has gotten a lot better. I know Jasmyne cares about all the children she works with and loves to see them succeed no matter how big or small. She’s there to cheer them on. I love that she breaks things down for each kid learning style. My last son trainer did not know how to work with kids who were on the spectrum and he opted out of training him because of him having ASD. So I love that she specialize in training kids who are on the spectrum, it takes away a lot of worry and stress for parents who just want the best for the babies!
