Lafaya’s persistence to make things work so her child doesn’t grow up as she did. Being introduced to Autism Spectrum Disorder and writing a book about her experiences with kids who have it. What is the Lafaya Way? What are the four steps to the Lafaya Way? Building a curriculum for parents to help support children and families who might need it. And much more! This is episode 1 of 2.
