Meet Hadia Khan,
Program Director
While completing her bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Economics from the University of Punjab (Lahore, Pakistan), Hadia knew she wanted to enrich the lives of others. After becoming the mother to a non-verbal son with global and developmental delays, she began dedicating her time to improving the lives of those with developmental disabilities with the goal of making them an integral part of society.

Hadia’s passion lies in working with families. For Hadia, there is nothing more rewarding than sharing resources and knowledge with parents to empower them to be a voice for their own children.
Book Review

Our next book is "Spectrum Women: Walking to the Beat of Autism," edited by Barb Cook and Dr. Michelle Garnett.
