that their needs were prioritized. I was not just a clinician; I became a voice for the families who felt unheard and invisible. The initiative had transcended its original framework, evolving into a movement that demanded recognition and change. It was a journey marked by resilience, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children with developmental disabilities and their families in both Ohio and Arizona. The challenges were immense, but the rewards—seeing families finally gain access to the care they deserved—were immeasurable. As I moved forward, the lessons learned and the relationships forged would continue to guide my work.
