Lacey and Isla | Welcome to Episode 3. I was so excited to talk with Lacey. We have known each other for 4 years because our children go to the same ABA clinic Springs Learning Community. Isla is a spunky 8 year old little girl who loves playing with her friends, swimming and dressing up with makeup. Isla was born deaf. When she was born, her family lived in Alabama and did not have access to many resources. They moved to Colorado shortly after and was so grateful for the resources Colorado Springs provided. At 15 months old, she had a cochlear implant surgery. She did well with them for a while, but at about 3.5 years old she was having a really difficult time and her parents were referred to Children's hospital for an evaluation. After the evaluation, it was determined that Isla was autistic. This began a new journey for her and her parents. Join me as Lacey gives a little peek into the last 8 years of Isla's life.
