He continued his work in Nebraska as a Behavioral Support Coordinator at a residential support and service agency, and also worked at the Children’s Advocacy Center as a Forensic Interviewer. He has 16 years of leadership experience and has worked in nearly every facet of the systems that assist the people he serves, including everything from direct support to advocacy at a legislative level. Among extensive direct support experience, William has managed a day program, coordinated residential services, and has developed Behavioral Plans for hundreds of developmentally/intellectually disabled adults, with a goal of reducing or eliminating high levels of psychotropic medication. William refined his expertise at a community centered board as a member and leader of the Quality Enhancement Team. Thanks to this, he has a strong understanding of regulatory statues and standards for people in Medicaid services.
