Each member of our leadership team brings unique expertise across practice settings—including early intervention, school-based services, mental health, community practice, and policy—and across the lifespan. We are united by a shared mission to promote inclusive, evidence-informed, and client-centered occupational therapy practices that empower people with developmental disabilities to participate fully in meaningful life activities.

Together, we strive to:

• Foster community and knowledge-sharing within the DDSIS membership
• Curate and disseminate timely and relevant resources
• Elevate emerging issues, innovations, and advocacy opportunities
• Support the professional growth of occupational therapy students and practitioners alike

We’re here to listen, collaborate, and grow with you. Whether you’re new to the profession, a seasoned clinician, or somewhere in between, our team is honored to be part of your journey.
