Meet Sharon Jordan,

Sharon C. Jordan is the Founder and CEO of The LEEAP Center, Charlotte's premier interdisciplinary child and family therapy hub and the largest bilingual therapy provider in North Carolina. A servant leader and community builder at heart, Sharon founded Speech Tactics in 2012 with a simple but powerful belief: even helping just two or three families could create meaningful change and, in some cases, shift the entire trajectory of a family's autism journey. She has always believed that every child deserves to be seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

In 2014, Sharon was faced with a defining choice: continue balancing two career paths or fully commit to the work she knew she was called to do. She chose to go all in for the children, families, and community she cared so deeply about. That decision became a turning point—not only in her own life, but in the growth of what is now The LEEAP Center. As fate would have it, that very mindset has propelled her leadership and impact by LEEAPs and bounds.

Sharon is recognized across the Charlotte community as a collaborative, hands-on leader who inspires creativity, community connection, honest communication, and courageous thinking in everyone around her. She is solution-oriented, forward-thinking, and relentlessly committed to raising the standard of care for children and families in North Carolina.

Her vision has elevated The LEEAP Center to new heights — and her warmth has made it a place where families feel at home from the very first visit. When she’s not leading her extraordinary team, Sharon cherishes time with her family and the community that has made The LEEAP Center what it is today. Another fun fact is that Sharon LOVES to dance, sing karaoke, and play basketball!
