Can a wrist watch really extinguish negative behaviors?
Why my son who has autism lines up cars.
Choosing a guardian can be difficult — asking is even harder.
Amy Dawson is the parent of twins, one of whom has autism and special health care needs. She began practicing law in 1992 at the firm of Faegre & Benson, L.L.P. in Minneapolis. She also worked at the PACER Center and is a member of the Board of the Arc Greater Twin Cities. Amy’s law practice focuses on issues related to autism, disabilities, insurance and estate planning.
Bob Gunderson inspired me to devote my practice to individuals who have disabilities, their families, and the organizations that serve them. Bob Gunderson was my mentor, friend and colleague and I miss him very much. Bob Gunderson served the disability community as an attorney, as a brother, and as a dedicated volunteer who spent many hours in service to organizations such as Opportunity Partners, Fraser, PACER, and the Arc of Minnesota and Arc Greater Twin Cities.
In honor of Bob Gunderson, the Autism Advocacy and Law Center will donate 5% of all fees for supplemental needs trusts and special needs trusts to non-profits dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals who have disabilities. Bob Gunderson died in July of 2009 after a brief and heroic battle with cancer.
