Sarah Spear

While parenting her daughter with a developmental disability, Sarah Spear learned firsthand how isolating that journey can be and that other parents on similar journeys were feeling all alone. She recognized the value in sharing support and knowledge with one another and her parent support organization, Empowered Together, was born. As a parent advocate, Sarah works to include families affected by disability as decision makers. Impact and outcomes drive her work. Sarah previously participated in Partners in Policymaking and is excited to continue her learning and growth through LEND. When she and her daughter need a brain break, they love singing and dancing to “Roar” and “Old Town Road.”
