INVITE MICHELLE TO SPEAK

My Story

My journey began with my firstborn son. At 29 weeks pregnant, I went in to get an Ultrasound and didn’t come out of the hospital until a month later.

My son was born 8 weeks prematurely and was a NICU baby for one month. From the beginning, he had delays. He couldn’t suck, swallow and breathe at the same time, so he had to drink my milk through a bottle. He was such a bad eater too!

As he grew, we could see that he wasn’t hitting his milestones. We went through the regional center when he was only 18 months old, getting an OT to help with feeding. He still couldn’t talk.

That was the beginning of our journey.

Through the years we received different diagnoses, but it wasn't until he was 8 years old that we finally figured out that he had TBR1 genetic disorder-there are only 190 children in the world with this diagnosis.

We went through countless doctors and lots of trial and error, but when he said his first word, more...what a moment for me!

He is now 10 years old and even though he still has tantrums, and is behind behaviorally, academically, and psychologically, the progress he made is nothing short of a miracle. My son is a child who went from not speaking at three and a half to a kid who makes friends wherever he goes. He even received the award for the “friendliest kid” at his school!

I am telling you this because I want you to know that I see you! I am you! And I know how to help you!

Expect The Miracle

Witness the beautiful moment when my son spoke his first word after years of frustration and tireless effort, proving what is truly possible.

""As a devoted mother of a neurodivergent child, I deeply appreciate Michelle's unwavering support during our heartfelt conversations about the unique challenges our children face. Michelle's attentive and compassionate approach has been invaluable as we navigate the complexities of my daughter's Individualized Education Program (IEP), advocating tirelessly for improved treatments and personalized options. Thank you Michelle!"
