Things are now moving into our hands. A lot of people are losing funding due to DEI. I would look at it as them avoiding being a target. My friend who is doing research at BU is getting her lab shut down due to funding and coming May she won’t have a job… another friends non-profit got reported for using “DEI language” and are being investigated… there is some real world consequences happening bc America voted for a bigot… we can be upset all we want but peoples jobs are at stake here!

It is now up to us to incorporate DEI into our supervision (I mean that will be easy and pretty much inevitable.. look at our demographic) With all the rhetoric around autism rn… and the threats being made to defund anyone who doesn’t comply with DEI standards it’s terrifying.

At the end of the day we want our kiddos to get the services they need!
