About Breanna Coronado

Breanna is the proud mother of two boys, including seven-year-old Josh, who has Jansen-de Vries syndrome. When Josh missed early milestones, Breanna and her husband, John, sought testing through Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. In 2020, whole-exome sequencing identified a de novo pathogenic PPM1D variant.

With little information available at the time, Breanna found the JdVS Facebook community and read every post. The shared experiences of other families brought the clarity and connection her family had been searching for.

Josh has made meaningful progress with early intervention and ongoing occupational, physical, and speech therapy. He primarily communicates through an AAC device and continues to build his communication skills.

Breanna is a fierce advocate in her community. She is a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates and holds a Special Education Advocacy Training certification. She works as a Program Manager for Equifax and enjoys the beach, reading, time with her family, board games, and mahjong.
