Self-Direction & parent advocacy

OPWDD Self-Direction without agency bureaucracy

I help New York families access and manage self-directed budgets for a loved one with autism or a developmental disability using clear plain-language guidance.

Kitchen-table clarity

Why I do this work

I am the mother of a nonverbal autistic child. When our family first started navigating OPWDD services, thick state binders and technical bureaucracy left us feeling isolated and deeply uncertain.

I learned the state budget system step by step. Today, I convert complex administrative rules into clear actionable funding so your family can focus on what your child needs.
