The Autism Mom Who Turned Miami-Dade Into a Neuroinclusion Model

Miami Autism Dad Victor Antunez interviews Commissioner Raquel Regalado, autism mom and Miami-Dade County Commissioner for District 7 on the Florida Neuroinclusion Toolkit, the first resource of its kind to gives counties, cities, and public agencies a playbook for building neuroinclusive communities. The conversation starts where it has to start, with the 2011 op-ed about her daughter Isabela's autism diagnosis and the charter school that turned her away, and builds through the 5 principles of the Miami-Dade Model, the training-as-infrastructure approach that has reached more than 2,500 first responders, and the deliberate decision to push neuroinclusion all the way to employment and adult independence. Commissioner Regalado makes the case that when neuroinclusion is framed as access, safety, and effective service delivery, it isn't controversial, it's good government.
