Twenty years ago Nelsinia Ramos not only had a young daughter with autism, but was struggling to learn English and navigate the special education system at the same time. It was intimidating to say the least. Looking back, that experience is what fuels her desire to help other families in her work at Wisconsin FACETS today. In this podcast, Nelsinia, now the Associate Director at the statewide parent support organization, talks about the unique obstacles for Latino families raising children with disabilities, shares more about how Wisconsin FACETS tries to help and tells us her dream for the future.
