I am a Nurse Practitioner, specialized in Neurology for 20 years and transitioned to Developmental Medicine at Nemours in 2023. During my career I focused on children with autism and their co-morbidities. As a parent of a special needs child, I know how hard it is for parents to navigate and access community and educational resources. This has driven my passion for this field and commitment to sharing my knowledge with patients and their families. Thank you for this opportunity to speak at this conference.
