Over her almost lifetime involvement as a family member and a career in the field of developmental disabilities, Rosa has been involved with numerous innovative projects in education, home supports, positive behavioral supports, organizational development, and system-wide training — all to assist people with disabilities in being heard, respected, and in control of their own life.

In this capacity, she has assisted in the development of the Pennsylvania based self-advocacy group known as The Lonesome Doves; has developed an innovative training project to build local capacity known as The Communication Mentors’ Course; teaches part-time at Arcadia University in the area of Instructional and Assistive Technology; and is a frequent guest lecturer and presenter.
