“We’re committed to building a workplace culture where everyone can feel seen and heard,” said Brittany Wolfson, MS, BCBA, SHRM-SCP, ALP’s Chief People Officer. “We do this by following our DEI Council’s guiding principles.”

ALP strives to give hope, support, and paths of progress for children and their families living with autism and related disorders. ALP believes in fostering a sense of belonging within the organization, by building a diverse and inclusive culture, where employees at all levels feel heard, validated, and empowered to embody DEI values throughout each aspect of their service within ALP. ALP strives to have employees be recognized and valued, provided with opportunities to analyze their identity and DEI values, and held accountable for their actions in the field, and together as an organization.

The DEI Council just celebrated its one-year anniversary in working towards using inclusive language, creating an inclusive company culture, celebrating their accomplishments, including a monthly newsletter and intranet site dedicated to DEI.
