A wife of 24 years and mother of 3 children, Tana Smith is a caregiver, advocate, and worship leader who is passionate about helping parents navigate resources for their children with special needs.  Although all 3 of her children have some degree of neurodivergence, her journey of caregiving and advocacy began with her first child who had a speech delay at age 3 and then later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 7.  Now that her first born has transitioned into adulthood, her role has expanded to assisting her son with becoming his own advocate and developing independence.
