providers and practices that have experience, knowledge, and
training with the intellectual and developmental disability
population and on developing a social media page highlighting
various educational opportunities and resources; and

pathologist with 22 years of experience and a certified lactation
consultant, and she has worked with children with disabilities in a

program, Brandi Spieth has developed the knowledge and skills
necessary to effect positive change in her community and beyond,
