Welcome!

Welcome to Fiesta Family Blog!  I would like to introduce myself to you I am Maria Singh, office manager of Fiesta Pediatric Therapy, I would like to share some of my personal journey, reflections, and general advice with you. I am a mother of a 16-year-old son with Autism, I share the pain, concern and love that many of you have experienced thru having a child with a disability. Therefore, I understand your daily struggles in finding a better way to make life a bit easier, searching for answers and trying to find a health care provider that understands you and your child’s needs. I have been blessed to be able to work with the BEST therapists in the Valley that have shown compassion of giving to a community that is truly in need.

Dr. Beth Williamson, owner, opened 2014 with this statement “Fiesta Pediatric Therapy, Inc. will be known for generosity of spirit.” With that being said, we are on a mission to join forces with parents to give back to others that may need assistance whether it be from advice, to assistance in understanding IEP goals. Join US and let’s make a difference in our community.

“For it is in giving that we receive.”
St. Francis of Assisi

I’d like to thank Jessica Kaltenberger, OTR/L for developing this blog and for giving her time to help our mission come to fruition.  I invite you to email her (j.kaltenberger@fiestapeds.net) should you have a topic suggestion.

Maria and her son, Miguel

Estamos en una misión de unir fuerzas con los padres para devolver a los demás que pueden necesitar ayuda, ya sea desde el asesoramiento, la asistencia en la comprensión de las metas del IEP.
