Panelists: Bonnie Brayton, Neil Belanger, Robert Gagnon, Dr. Shiv Sivapalan
Denise McKee Remarks
More InfoDenise McKee was originally set to appear on our panel, “Addressing Disparities in a National Autism Strategy: An Equity Lens, but, unfortunately, could not make it. Despite this, all of us felt that the message that Denise would share was one that needed to be said and heard. For this reason, Denise kindly recorded her remarks separately so that we could all still hear her remarks. There are gaps within the Autism community where individuals and groups of people fall through the cracks. We must not shy away from shining a light on these areas as the moment we do, we become complacent.
