My Story…
This year, I’m honored to run the Falmouth Road Race to raise awareness and support for students with autism. This race holds special meaning for me as I celebrate 30 years working in the field of special education, a journey that began right after college and has shaped my life and career in the most rewarding ways.
I’m also proud to celebrate a major milestone — the 10-year anniversary of the Center for Applied Behavioral Instruction (CABI).
For the past seven years, I’ve served in executive leadership at (CABI) — an Approved Chapter 766 Day School dedicated to serving children with autism and related neurological disorders. At CABI, we are deeply committed to providing individualized, evidence-based programming that supports each student’s educational, behavioral, social, and vocational development.
Your donation directly supports our students — funding innovative programming, classroom resources, community-based learning, and so much more. Together, we can continue to build a world where every child with autism has access to the tools and support they need to thrive.
“I am different, not less.”
— Dr. Temple Grandin
Thank you for helping me run with purpose and passion — for our students, for awareness, and for the future.
