Entre La Familia – Episode 9 Part 1 (with Speech Language Pathologist Linelly Nieves)

I’m so excited to have Linelly on this episode of Dancing Into Parenthood: Entre La Familia! Linelly is a Speech Language Pathologist with a two year old son who was diagnosed with autism. She shares how his diagnosis affected her career path, her experience and advice when advocating for your child, and the importance of teaching functional language at an early age.

Listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Linelly and stay tuned for Part 2!

If you’re a parent to a child with autism or special needs, I invite you to learn more about my group parenting sessions. These sessions will provide education on navigating the school and healthcare system, tips, and support from myself and other parents going through the same journey.
