“Being a part of GASNA is important to me because I can be on the forefront of knowledge in special needs resources for my clients–specifically, my elderly clients. Special needs resources are scarce, and they are especially scarce for older individuals. The reality of what happens to a person with unique needs is troubling when their parents are no longer able to advocate for their health and social needs. Often, their needs are met with solutions that are meant for others with typical age-related disabilities. And most times typical aging solutions, like assisted livings, are not adequate to meet special needs. Bottom line, I am here to garner more extensive knowledge and to be in a position to better advocate for my special needs clients.”
