Your Audience Craves Practical Ideas They Can Use on Monday.

 I bring 35+ years of real-world developmental disability experience to the stage, with practical lessons drawn from nearly every corner of the service delivery system.

My sessions are practical, engaging, sometimes a little irreverent, and built around one goal:

Give your audience powerful tools that make their work easier and their service delivery stronger.

Give Them the Steps to Take. The Words to Say.

Whether I’m speaking to DSPs, frontline supervisors, executives, case managers, provider leaders—or a room filled with a little bit of everybody—I meet your audience where they are.

We tackle the problems they’re actually dealing with.

Staffing. Supervision. Compliance. Communication. Meaningful services. Supported decision-making. Training. Accountability. Leadership. Service delivery.

What Can Sara Talk About?

My speaking topics span the issues developmental disability organizations deal with every day, including:

• Frontline supervision and leadership
• Staff retention and engagement
• Compliance and operational systems
• Meaningful services and activities
• Supported decision-making and individual independence
• Staff training that actually translates into performance
• Communication, professionalism, and workplace relationships
• Organizational culture and accountability
• Service delivery and person-centered practices

Have something else keeping your attendees up at night?

Ask me. There’s a pretty good chance I’ve got some thoughts.

35+ Years. 20+ States. Thousands Trained.

I’ve spent more than 35 years working throughout the developmental disability system and have trained thousands of DSPs, supervisors, managers, executives, and other professionals across the country.

I’ve presented for state provider associations, national and regional conferences, provider organizations, and other groups committed to strengthening services for people with developmental disabilities.

But credentials aren’t what make a session worth attending.

What your audience can do differently when it’s over does.

Don't take my word for it...

I'd love to be part of your next event...

Tell me who will be in the room, what they're dealing with, and what you want them to walk away with.

We'll figure out the right topic, format, and the Power Moves to get them there.
