From Kristen's nomination form... "Kristen serves as one of the CASP representatives to the ABA Coding Coalition. She chairs and contributes to several CASP Special Interest Groups, and recently led the effort to develop a CASP resource to support autism service provider organizations after a natural disaster. Kristen is professional, dedicated, caring, hard-working, and humble. So many CASP members and the autism community at large benefit from her contributions without realizing the credit she is due."

From Dan's nomination form... "Dan Unumb’s deep legal expertise, intuitive feel for advocacy, and compassion for others have made a positive difference in the lives of autistic persons and their families nationally and internationally. His contributions have been felt everywhere autism intersects with real-world contingencies: laws and regulations, funding, case law, clinical practice, public policy, and most of all, families. As part of this work, Dan has been an outstanding educator and mentor to others, ensuring that these impacts reverberate. As is often the case with those passionate about making the world a better place, Dan brings out the best in those fortunate to work alongside him." |
