  • Personal Journeys: A conversation with an author who has turned his lived experience with autism into a series of children's books.
  • Advocacy in Action: Diane Tanner of Healthy Minds, Healthy Kids on mental‑health funding and Assemblyman Miller’s vision for policy change.
  • Community Impact: Dr. Kelberman reflects on 20 years of grassroots growth and future plans.
  • Self‑Advocate Voices: Christian and Veronica share how they’re forging independence through employment and peer‑led initiatives.
  • Local Innovation: Highlights from Books, Art & More and LifePlan/ACA on creative supports and care management.
