Manuel Moreno

Manuel Moreno is the father of Mateo, a 25-year old who has used AAC since the age of four. Since Covid rocked the entire world, Manuel has been fortunate to enjoy a flexible work schedule and the ability to work from home much of the time. As a result, he has been able to work side-by-side with Mateo as he navigates adulthood. Together, theyโ€™re tackling challenges such under-employment and limited opportunities to socialize with other adults who share similar interests and hobbies. Manuel is supporting Mateo as he carves out a new role for himself as a professional presenter on AAC, disability and inclusion โ€“ something he enjoys greatly because it allows him to be himself, meet new people and travel โ€” while still pursuing his dream of working at Disney World and living independently.
