Since 2001, Miguel Fernandez has served as the chief executive officer of Transtelco, a company that provides voice and data services to telecom and cable companies. Miguel Fernandez is also involved in his hometown community of El Paso, Texas, where he serves on the board of El Paso Children’s Hospital.

The hospital operates a Department of Developmental and Rehabilitative Services to cater to children with developmental disabilities. The department is staffed with pediatric specialists who help children reach peak performance in their motor, audio, and speech development.

To help children with hearing difficulties, the department has audiologists who assess the hearing skills of infants and recommend hearing aids or cochlear implants. Auditory verbal specialists then work with the children to develop their speech and literacy skills through evidence-based auditory-verbal techniques.

For children who have difficulty using their tongues, lips, jaws, or neck muscles, the department employs speech-language pathologists to help them eat, swallow, and speak better. The department also has child care specialists who provide psychosocial and emotional support to hospitalized children and help their families cope with the impact of the illness or injury.
