Meet our Early Intervention Child Development Specialist: Diana Telleria

“I thought I chose this work, but it was the children — my daughter, my students, the ones who couldn’t yet speak — who chose me. Through their struggles and their smiles, they showed me what it means to grow, to hope, and to keep showing up with heart.”

About Diana Telleria

Hi, I'm Diana Telleria, the Early Intervention Child Development Specialist at Developmental Exceptional Education (DEE).

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to working with children — especially those who need a little extra support to thrive. I hold a Master’s in Early Childhood Special Education. I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with children and their families in educational and therapeutic settings for the past 30+ years. My passion is early intervention, and my mission is to empower children ages 0–3 to reach their full developmental potential.

This work is not just my profession — it’s deeply personal. I’m also the proud adoptive mother of a daughter who has a disability. Navigating her challenges has been one of the most humbling and transformative experiences of my life. It’s given me firsthand understanding of the emotional toll, the daily victories, and the profound importance of early support and guidance.

Joining DEE is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream — to create a nurturing space where families feel seen, supported, and empowered. I believe that with the right tools, compassionate guidance, and a whole lot of heart, every child can grow into their unique greatness.

Thank you for being here. I’d be honored to work alongside you and your child on this journey of development and discovery.
