Meet Our FEP Team

The Family and Educator Partners are parents of children or young adults with special needs and share a unique perspective with families. If you're looking for a presentation for your community organization, parent group, or school, we'd love to talk to you and share our work.

McKaylee Heuton

McKaylee has been with Prairie Lakes AEA since March 2019. Her daughter was diagnosed with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome at 5 months old. Along with that diagnosis comes developmental delay, motor skill delay, hearing impairment, health concerns, and absent speech for Presley. After using AEA services for her own daughter, she fell in love with what the AEAs do and found a passion for helping other families navigate the world of special needs. Because of her daughter's needs,  McKaylee has experienced many AEA supports and services  and is able to share unique perspectives with other families. She understands what it's like to need to be a parent, therapist, and doctor for your child.
