Services

Making disability services easier to understand is at the center of my work, from figuring out what is happening to deciding what comes next.

Through Beyond The Box Advocacy, my work with individuals, families, and organizations includes advocacy, analysis, research, and consultation.

How I Can Help

Individual and Family Advocacy

For people with disabilities and their families, I provide support with understanding service systems, preparing for meetings, organizing requests, communicating with agencies, and planning next steps. The goal is to make complicated systems clearer and strengthen each person’s ability to advocate for what they need.

Disability Systems Consultation

For organizations, consultation focuses on how disability policies and programs work in practice. Consultation can include:

  • Reviewing policies and processes
  • Identifying recurring barriers
  • Examining continuity and access
  • Bringing lived experience into systems decisions

Policy Analysis and Research

Complex disability policy questions become clearer and more usable through my research and analysis. Areas I focus on include:

  • Disability support service portability
  • Continuity of services
  • Long-term services and supports
  • Geographic mobility
  • How system design shapes everyday opportunity

Strategy and Research Advising

Projects often come to me for disability policy context, research direction, systems thinking, or help connecting individual experiences to larger policy questions. This work can support research projects, advocacy efforts, organizational planning, public education, and early-stage policy ideas.

How I Work

My approach starts with the gap between how a policy is written and how it works in someone’s life. Patterns across rules, agencies, eligibility requirements, timelines, and transitions often reveal where the real problem sits. From there, I help turn those patterns into clearer language, stronger questions, and practical next steps.

My work is informed by disability policy research, professional experience, direct advocacy, and my own experience navigating disability systems. The scope of each project depends on the question, the people involved, and the type of support needed.
