About Me

Marianne Russo

Location: New York : United States

Interests: Empowering parents of special needs children by providing interviews with world renowned experts and internationally renowned childrens foundations .  As President and Producer of The Coffee Klatch and Special Needs Talk Radio Network I have the opportunity to  give parents of special needs children a forum to find and share the best resources and information available. As a mother who has been in your shoes I hope to give the most important gift of all through these writings, the empowerment of confidence.  Empowering parents with information, inspiration, options and hope to be the best advocates they can be is my goal.  What you see is not always what you get. I encourage parents to dig deep, always searching for answers and never give up hope.

I have spent the past twelve years searching for answers to the organic basis of anxiety and depressive disorders in children and adolescents.  My special interests are neuroendocrinology, neurobiological disorders, endocrinology, immunology and early onset neurobiological disorders. My search has taken me on quite a journey and it is that journey I share with parents. We may not find all the answers but with acceptance and determination we find the strength.

As I end my show each day “You are your child’s best advocate, if not you then who, become an informed, educated parent”

Parents need an advocate as well and that is the role I gladly take – The Parents Advocate.
