About Me

Hello, I’m Maria — a former Speech and Language Pathologist and Audiologist, a mom of two boys, and someone deeply committed to helping families understand and support their neurodiverse children.

My professional journey began in Colombia, where I worked as a Speech-Language Pathologist in clinical settings supporting children and families with communication needs. Later, I continued my work in the United States as an Early Intervention provider in New York, partnering with parents of infants and toddlers as they navigated their child’s developmental challenges.

After several meaningful years in the field, I chose to step away and become a stay-at-home mom while raising my two boys. It was during these years that my learning took a new direction. As I watched my children grow, I became increasingly curious about neurodiversity — especially ASD, ADHD and executive functioning differences. I wanted to understand their experiences, their behaviors, and the kinds of support that truly made a difference.

In 2020, I returned to the school environment as a substitute teacher in the district where I live. That experience, combined with my ongoing studies, deepened my commitment to supporting children who think and learn differently — and to helping the parents who love them.

Today, as a I bring together my hands-on parenting experience, and years of learning about ADHD and executive functioning to guide and empower families. My mission is simple: to help parents feel more connected, more confident, and better equipped to support their children in a way that honors their strengths and unique ways of being.
