What We Offer

In both educational and organizational settings, I drive meaningful change through collaboration, insightful questioning, and practical solutions. I assist schools in creating inclusive communities that address the diverse needs of students and support organizations in developing equitable environments where everyone can succeed. With expertise in both areas, I deliver customized strategies that empower organizations and schools to reach their goals for growth and inclusivity.

Services for Organizations:

Supports schools and organizations in transforming their mindsets, practices, and structures to become more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. This service is grounded in the belief that lasting inclusion requires more than policy updates—it demands intentional shifts in beliefs, behaviors, and daily operations. Through facilitated dialogue, leadership coaching, staff workshops, and collaborative planning, I help communities uncover unspoken norms, examine power dynamics, and align their systems with their stated values. The process is adaptive and community-centered, designed to build shared understanding, strengthen internal capacity, and create the conditions for meaningful, long-term change that supports all members of the community.

An organizational review for accessibility and inclusion is a comprehensive audit designed to evaluate how well a school or institution supports disabled individuals across its systems, culture, and practices. This review includes an in-depth analysis of policies, physical and digital environments, communication methods, instructional practices, and staffing models to identify barriers and opportunities for improvement. Through stakeholder interviews, document reviews, and observation, the process highlights strengths and uncovers gaps, leading to actionable recommendations that align with legal standards, inclusive values, and the unique context of the community. The goal is to support organizations in creating environments where all individuals, regardless of ability, can access, participate in, and thrive within the full experience of school life.
I partner with organizations to design programs and projects that are intentionally inclusive of disabled individuals from the start. This service ensures that inclusion is embedded in every stage of design—from goal setting and stakeholder engagement to implementation planning and evaluation. By applying universal design principles, equity-centered frameworks, and accessibility best practices, I help organizations create initiatives that are not only compliant but truly responsive to diverse needs. Whether you’re launching a new service, community program, or internal initiative, I work with your team to co-create strategies that center disability inclusion, increase impact, and build lasting trust with the communities you serve.
I support organizations in crafting compelling, values-driven proposals that advance disability inclusion and accessibility initiatives. Whether seeking grant funding, internal approval, or strategic partnerships, I help articulate a clear vision, align objectives with funder priorities, and build strong, evidence-based narratives. Services include needs assessments, theory of change development, measurable outcome design, and budget alignment, ensuring proposals are both powerful and practical. With a deep understanding of inclusion frameworks and equity-based language, I work closely with teams to create proposals that reflect their mission while positioning them for meaningful impact and long-term sustainability.
I support organizations in creating physical environments that are welcoming, functional, and inclusive for people of all abilities. This consultation service involves evaluating existing spaces or providing guidance during the design and renovation process to ensure alignment with accessibility standards and universal design principles. From entrances and restrooms to signage, lighting, and sensory-friendly considerations, I help identify barriers and offer practical, user-centered recommendations that go beyond compliance to create truly inclusive environments. The goal is to design spaces that reflect your organization’s commitment to dignity, equity, and full participation for everyone who enters.
I support organizations in creating and refining policies that uphold disability inclusion, accessibility, and equity as core commitments. This service involves reviewing existing policies through an inclusion lens, identifying gaps or unintended barriers, and co-developing clear, actionable, and legally sound policies that reflect current best practices. Whether drafting new accessibility protocols, inclusive hiring policies, or anti-discrimination statements, I work collaboratively to ensure that policies are not only compliant but also aligned with your organization’s values and culture. The goal is to embed inclusion into the fabric of your operations—providing a strong, sustainable framework for decision-making, accountability, and community trust.
I work with organizations to foster inclusive workplaces where neurodivergent employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
