2021 Keynote Speaker
Amy Nelson
As the oldest of 5 girls, Amy was the high needs child. When she started working with young children, Amy realized her quirky personality was a gift. She is fluent in two languages – adult and child. Amy uses this fluency to translate, educate and advocate for kids like her. She is passionate about motivating and inspiring caregivers to attune to and respond to their preschooler’s underlying needs – rather than focus on symptoms of misbehavior.
