MIAMI AUTISM PODCAST: SFACS Co-Founder Dr. Tamara Moodie on Autism Education in Miami

Podcast /

The School Built Solely For Autistic Children In this must-watch interview, Miami Autism Dad Victor Antunez sits down with Dr. Tamara Moodie, Co-Founder and Executive Director of South Florida Autism Charter School (SFACS)—Miami’s largest autism-specific charter school. Dr. Moodie reveals how SFACS was founded by a small group of parents and professionals who refused to accept the one-size-fits-all failures of the traditional school system. Their mission: build a place that actually works for autistic kids. What Makes SFACS Different Victor, as both an autism advocate and a father to a nonverbal child, asks the questions that matter most to families:• How are students supported day-to-day?• What safety protocols are in place?• What separates SFACS from other special education programs? Dr. Moodie explains how SFACS goes beyond academics—emphasizing life skills, behavioral support, communication, and long-term independence. The school is built from the ground up with autism in mind, from classroom design to staff training. A Wake-Up Call for Miami’s Education System The interview doesn’t shy away from the truth: public education in Miami isn’t working for most autism families. Dr. Moodie outlines what’s missing—real inclusion, trained staff, and consistent support—and why SFACS had to be the exception. Victor and Dr. Moodie agree: this isn’t just about one school. It’s about raising expectations across the board. Why Parent Advocacy Still Matters Dr. Moodie ends with a challenge: families must stay engaged. Parents are the loudest and most effective force for change—but only if they step up. This episode is required viewing for any parent, educator, or policymaker serious about autism education in South Florida. 📞 Let’s Connect—Because Your Family Deserves More Than Just a Roof If you’re ready to start the journey or just need advice, I’m here to help.

MIAMI AUTISM PODCAST: Science Based Dyslexia Reading Program — The Lucy Project

Podcast /

What if your child’s reading struggles weren’t a life sentence—but a solvable challenge? In this episode of The Autism Podcast, I sit down with Sandra Bermudez, a literacy specialist, national advocate, and founder of The Lucy Project—a Miami-based nonprofit that’s rewriting the story for children with dyslexia, autism, and other learning differences. 💡 A Wake-Up Call for Every Parent Sandra’s journey didn’t begin in a classroom. It started at home with her daughter, Lucy. Lucy once carried the label of dyslexia. But when Lucy no longer qualified for that diagnosis, it wasn’t just a victory—it was a wake-up call. A realization that the system often gets it wrong. That when schools say “your child can’t,” they may be revealing more about their limitations than your child’s. Since that moment, Sandra has helped hundreds of struggling readers, trained teachers across the country, and built a science-based reading program in Miami that’s making measurable change. 📘 What You’ll Learn in This Conversation This isn’t just a conversation about reading. It’s about advocacy, equity, and giving parents real tools to fight back against broken systems. 🏠 Why This Matters to Miami Families As a Miami realtor for families with special needs, I work with parents every day who are trying to build lives that actually work—for their kids, their routines, and their future. And reading is a huge part of that puzzle. If you’re a parent raising a child with dyslexia or learning differences, the right home isn’t just about location—it’s about access: This is where special needs-friendly real estate in Miami intersects with your child’s ability to flourish. 📞 Let’s Talk—Because Your Family Deserves More Than Just a Roof If you’re ready to start the journey or just need advice, I’m here to help.
