She has two children with Autism diagnosis. When her first son was younger, she always thought of him as a difficult child to care for. Then, her second son was born and with a full-time job, it has been a struggle mentally. When she first learned about Autism through her first son, she felt so lonely in this Autism route. However, her belief is that “where there’s a will there’s a way.” So she started to educate herself about Autism, attend parent training, and learn more about the resources and services for special-needs children. Especially, she has learned that there are many other families of children with special-needs who are walking on this similar journey. This has motivated her more and she becomes more passionate on continue to enhance her knowledge about special-needs related services in hoping to help her own children as well as other children with special needs.
Then she met Vong Tay Cha Me Viet through a referral from the local resource center in November 2021, they share the same vision of working in partnership with and assisting the families with special-needs children to better understand their unique circumstances and to support them in building a network of informal or community resources that help them to make better decisions for their child(ren). Since their path has crossed, therefore, she has been involved with VTCMV until present.
