Michaela Tofflemire-Rabang

Devoted and dedicated Disability Studies student and autism advocate with 7 years of experience working with disabled individuals–primarily Autistic children. I'm passionate about advocating for disability rights, listening to disabled individuals' experiences, and using my innovation skills to create environments that are accessible, accommodating, welcoming, and accepting of all people.

I particularly enjoy and thrive when working with individuals going through major transitional stages of their lives--e.g. Preschool → Elementary; Elementary → Middle; Middle → High School; High School → Post Secondary Ed./Workforce.
