Niina is a passionate special education teacher and a devoted mum to two deaf children, one of whom also has selective mutism and autism. With both lived experience and professional expertise, she understands the unique challenges families face. Her mission is to walk alongside parents on a similar journey, offering guidance and support so they can feel more confident, connected, and less alone.
