The presentation will also feature a Spanish-speaking parent co-presenter who will share firsthand experiences navigating diagnosis, intervention, and educational services, providing valuable insight into how professionals can better support and empower families.

- Current demographic trends.
- Cultural beliefs and perspectives common among Spanish-speaking families.
