My Journey In Supporting Special Need Families

Hey there! I’m Lesley, the heart and soul behind this space, where every parent can feel seen, supported, and celebrated. With over a decade of experience as an educator and advocate, I’m here to share all things uplifting, insightful, and practical for families on the autism spectrum and in special needs support. This platform is a blend of my journey and passion for creating an inclusive, caring space with a splash of whimsy.

Being both a parent and educator has shown me the unique magic, joys, and resilience that come with this journey. My mission is to be here for parents just like you, helping you find resources, inspiration, and a vibrant community ready to embrace the adventure together.

At Les Mermaid, our mission is to uplift and empower families navigating the unique journey of special needs. We believe that every family deserves a space filled with compassion, practical tools, and a touch of magic. Our goal is to provide resources, guidance, and a community where parents and caregivers feel seen, valued, and deeply understood.

Here, you’ll find more than just information – you’ll find a circle of friends who share your path, ready to help you and your family thrive in every beautiful, brave way. Welcome to a place where you can always count on support, encouragement, and a little sparkle along the way.
