We're off to Cuba to research the supports for individuals with IDD. This trip brings together my past with my professional passion. What an adventure!

On the plane heading to Texas I reflect on an amazing trip. We began with emotions of my family reunion, ended with closure as a colleague buried her family pictures in Cuba with prayers and tears, honoring her family, and in between, we saw much, noting the universality of developmental disabilities. It will take a long time to digest all, and perhaps it will be a lifetime, as I intend to stay in touch with new colleagues in Cuba, as well as an amazing set of new friends in our delegation. I was truly honored to have been a part of this extraordinary group on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
