🎤 Presentadora
María Rangel – Madre y Defensora

Hola, soy María, madre de tres hijos que constantemente me enseñan a través de su crecimiento. Me encanta compartir lo que he aprendido y sigo aprendiendo a diario con otros padres, para que tengan acceso a información y puedan tomar decisiones informadas dentro de los diversos sistemas que apoyan a nuestros hijos con discapacidades. Mi objetivo es que nuestros hijos tengan acceso a servicios, apoyos y a las oportunidades que los conduzcan hacia una vida plena. Mi viaje comenzó cuando me convertí en madre de mi primera hija, quien experimenta síndrome de Down. Durante la última década, he trabajado en varias organizaciones, principalmente apoyando a mi comunidad hispana/latina.

🎤 Presenter
María Rangel – Mother and Advocate

Hi, I’m Maria, a mother of three children who constantly teach me through their growth. I love sharing what I’ve learned and continue to learn daily with other parents so they have access to information and can make informed decisions within the various systems that support our children with disabilities. My goal is for our children to have access to services, supports, and opportunities that lead them to a fulfilling life. My journey began when I became a mother to my firstborn, who experiences Down syndrome. Over the past decade, I have worked in various organizations, primarily supporting my Hispanic/Latino community.
