Faltaban dos semanas para Navidad y los gemelos de Mar\u00eda Mart\u00ednez, un ni\u00f1o y una ni\u00f1a, estaban en camino. Finalmente hab\u00eda llegado el momento de que Mar\u00eda sostuviera a sus ‘beb\u00e9s guerreros’ en sus brazos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manuel, el hijo de Mar\u00eda, hab\u00eda recibido un diagn\u00f3stico prenatal de estenosis de la v\u00e1lvula pulmonar. Le hab\u00edan advertido que, inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de su nacimiento, lo llevar\u00edan de urgencia a una cirug\u00eda de coraz\u00f3n. Mar\u00eda todav\u00eda estaba tratando de prepararse mentalmente para esa eventua-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lidad mientras estaba en la sala de partos, \u00abPero luego ocurri\u00f3 un milagro\u00bb, comparti\u00f3, \u00ab\u00a1Los m\u00e9dicos dijeron que no hab\u00eda necesidad de la cirug\u00eda!\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luego, en Nochebuena, el cardi\u00f3logo dijo que Manuel estaba listo para irse a casa. Mar\u00eda estaba tan aliviada. \u00ab\u00a1Finalmente \u00edbamos a estar todos juntos en casa!\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A medida que sus gemelos crecieron, supervis\u00f3 y compar\u00f3 su desarrollo. Ella llev\u00f3 sus preocupaciones sobre Manuel al pediatra de los gemelos y solo le dec\u00edan que no se preocupara ya que los ni\u00f1os son m\u00e1s lentos para caminar y gatear que las ni\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manuel ten\u00eda 3 a\u00f1os cuando le diagnosticaron retraso en el desarrollo e impedimento de habla y lenguaje. El comenz\u00f3 a recibir servicios de educaci\u00f3n especial en preescolar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unos a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde, recibi\u00f3 un diagn\u00f3stico de epilepsia y despu\u00e9s, un diagn\u00f3stico de autismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuando Mar\u00eda fue referida a Raising Special Kids, habl\u00f3 con la especialista en apoyo familiar, Claudia Jaramillo. Claudia anim\u00f3 a Mar\u00eda y la ayud\u00f3 a comprender sus derechos y responsabilidades como madre. Esas habilidades ayudaron a Mar\u00eda a navegar con \u00e9xito el proceso del IEP y solicitar las adaptaciones y modificaciones necesarias para Manuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00abMe di cuenta de que pod\u00eda defender a mi hijo y ser su voz\u00bb. Como si pensara en voz alta, agreg\u00f3: \u00abLos padres tambi\u00e9n podemos ser la voz de esos padres que tal vez nunca sepamos que vendr\u00e1n despu\u00e9s de nosotros\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mar\u00eda le da cr\u00e9dito a Raising Special Kids por ayudarla a obtener la calma que necesitaba para enfrentar diagn\u00f3sticos desconocidos y por ayudarla a mantenerse enfocada en las habilidades y destrezas de Manuel en lugar de sus desaf\u00edos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00abCuando veo el logo de Raising Special Kids, recuerdo esta frase:\u00bb No veas sus limitaciones, mira sus habilidades, ve de lo que es capaz y aprov\u00e9chalo\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
