“We are incredibly grateful for Tyler’s contributions, where he brought valuable depth, care, and skill to our Autism Program. We first met Tyler when he served as a panelist for our “Disability Etiquette Among Colleagues” training, where he successfully taught over 100 professionals how to better support vision-impaired teammates.
