I come to this field as a sibling and former educator who is now working in the world of employment, equity, and inclusion in Spokane, WA and across the Northwest. I would love to talk to people about a wide range of topics: inclusion and participation in secondary and higher education, peer mentoring, person-centered planning in transition, cultural and linguistic competence (esp Spanish) in our social services systems and organizations, sibling advocacy, and many others! I am thrilled to gain knowledge at this conference, especially in the realm of person-centered planning and Technical Assistance/Communication in culturally diverse communities.
