New Episode of Manteniendo Esperanza Podcast: Supporting Neurodiverse Children in Our Community
We’re thrilled to announce the release of the first Spanish episode of our Manteniendo Esperanza podcast! In this special episode, we dive into a meaningful conversation with Vivian Fernández-Lentz, an Early Achievers coach, along with Susana Navarro and Brenda Alvarez from Parents Helping Parents, who bring both personal and professional insights on supporting neurodiverse children.
Vivian, Susana, and Brenda share their experiences as mothers of neurodiverse children and professionals working within our community. Together, they discuss topics including ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), providing practical strategies and ideas that families and child care providers can use to create supportive and inclusive environments for children.
The episode offers invaluable resources for anyone who wants to better understand neurodiversity and how we can nurture and embrace each child’s unique strengths. Brenda and Susana share practical tips for home and program settings, while Vivian reflects on her journey as a mother and advocate, offering hope and guidance for families facing similar challenges.
Join us in this important conversation and learn how we can come together to support all children in reaching their full potential.
