Juli DelMonego, FAST Adult Transition Liaison

Juli DelMonego is mom to 3 sons, and her 32 year old daughter Marina with AS. Juli started learning about disability rights soon after her daughter’s diagnosis, researching Special Education laws at the FSU law library in the pre-internet days. She advocated for disabled children’s rights and AS diagnosis awareness at the University of Florida’s genetics program before the Florida Cabinet and the Florida Legislature in the early 1990’s. In 1993, Juli and her husband Robert, together with another Tallahassee family, started the Southeast Angelman family support organization, which encompassed a 14 state region in the US. She was the SE Regional coordinator for the organization. She did trainings for professionals and families for Florida’s Family Network on Disabilities and also represented families on the Florida Big Bend Transition Council when Marina was in high school. The Transition Counsel assisted with the transition into postsecondary options. Juli has been a lifelong information junkie and proudly embraces her reputation as “that mom”.
