Leadership course sharpens Latinos’ advocacy skills - Wisconsin

“Nelsinia Ramos started her advocacy work as the mother of a daughter with autism. Finding educational and other services for a child with disabilities can be complex and confounding to parents, especially if they are native Spanish speakers, she said.

She not only found agencies to help, but went to work as the Latino coordinator with Wisconsin FACETS (Family Assistance Center for Education, Training and Support), an organization that assists children and adults with disabilities. She also helped start Alianza, a support group for Latino families with children with disabilities.”
