Nancy Wiseman

Nancy Wiseman is the founder and president of First Signs,
Inc., a national nonprofit organization dedicated to
educating parents and pediatric professionals about the
early warning signs of autism and other developmental
disorders. First Signs provides professionals with tools
and training and parents with education and support to help
young children stay on a healthy developmental path. Nancy
is the mother of Sarah, who was diagnosed with autism at
the age of two. Today—at age nine—Sarah stands as a
powerful and positive example of the impact that early
identification and intensive intervention can have on young
children with developmental delays and disorders. This
little girl, once so profoundly delayed, has made
remarkable progress, much like the organization she
inspired seven years ago.
