About Karen
Biography
I am a passionate advocate for her clients, including people who have family members with special needs. I have a severely autistic adult son (now living in a group setting in Framingham), so I understand how to navigate the system and what parents and siblings go through. I have been active in Special Olympics, founding Wellesley’s Special Olympics track team (part of Wellesley S.T.A.R.S.). I am the chair of the Housing Taskforce of AFAM (Advocacy for Autism Massachusetts), and a member of the Housing Subcommittee of Massachusetts’s state-wide Autism Commission. In addition, I am a director of Camp Starfish, a camp for children with emotional and behavioral issues. I am an active member of the Academy of Special Needs Planners.
