Perspective and application

I am a health professional, researcher, and parent actually living this out with my own autistic child and as part of a community of parents. As a researcher, I am able to translate science into digestible information that can be used in practice.

My ability to translate science while also understanding the real limitations in practice with patients and the realities of a parent give me the ability to bridge conversations and identify meaningful solutions
