In this powerful breakout session, leaders with lived experience shared their personal perspectives on navigating developmental and behavioral health services in Washington State. Facilitated by DD Council member Alex Koval, the panel included Tracy Turner, Katie Nash (DD Council 1st Vice Chair), Josie Schindler, Vickie Horschell, and Leigh Walters (Developmental Disabilities Ombuds). Panelists discussed what had helped them access services, what supports were still needed, and what they wanted decision-makers to understand. This session centered the voices of those who are most impacted by our systems and offered real-world insight into how improvements could be made.
