Mosqueda

Professor Mosqueda is a bilingual/multiethnic pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist. She began her clinical career in 2009 working in early intervention and early childhood special education. Currently, she is an Associate Clinical Professor teaching and supervising graduate speech-language students.

 

 Professor Mosqueda is passionate about sharing her learning and synthesis of related topics to pediatric speech-language service provision. In her teaching, she weaves together tenets from Motherhood Studies sociology, perinatal mental health advocacy, and Infant-Toddler Mental Health. Professor Mosqueda finds that by adding these elements early SLPs can truly provide family-centered care described by IDEA.

 

In 2018, at 8 months postpartum after a second child, Professor Mosqueda began experiencing what she would later learn was postpartum anxiety, and depression. She started reassessing her experience of motherhood as a repeat parent and examining more deeply who she was as a mix-ethnicity woman. Her memoir, (Unexpected, Demeter Press, 2023) recounts her experiences with mothering as a first-time mom, past mental health struggles and my identity transformation upon becoming a mother a second time.
