Hi I am Anowara Aana Aman, Founder of MAA foundation. I am a mental health advocate and a parent of a child with ASD and ADHD. Even though I have been aware of Autism from a young age, accepting my son’s diagnosis was very challenging. It took us more than 2 years to understand and learn how to get proper help that is needed. Navigating the special education system in New York can be a challenging one. Finding the right therapists, agencies, schools, practitioners, medical services all can be very confusing, even a nightmare to some of us.
