A collaboration between Washington Autism Alliance & Advocacy (WAAA) and Anjali Barretto, BCBA and Associate Professor of Special Education at Gonzaga University is dramatically helping families in Eastern Washington. Earlier this year, Jess Silvernail, Eastern Washington Outreach and Advocacy Coordinator for WAAA, met with Dr. Barretto and a team of her graduate students at Gonzaga. Inspired by WAAA’s efforts to help families, Dr. Barretto and her grad students are now providing in-home ABA therapy to help bridge the gap for Spokane families on wait lists for services. “They are all so compassionate and knowledgeable,” enthuses Jess, “it’s wonderful that we can engage Dr. Barretto and her students to help service these families during a critical time in their child’s life.”
