Since becoming the mother to a wonderful 6 year old with disabilities, she is passionate about letting parents know that they aren't alone, that they have help, and that we don't need to keep in the shadows. Mandi's son began services at 16 months through the Regional Center Early Intervention program. She is his caretaker full time and is a very proud mama.
