Alicia Riddle

Family Network Program Specialist
FACT Oregon

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon then went on to graduate from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. I spent the next 15 years working with children and families in different capacities working as a para educator in classrooms and supporting parents navigate systems. I have 2 boys who are autistic, and raising children with disabilities has changed the trajectory of my life. As a woman of color, raising Black sons with disabilities, I feel it's important to discuss how the intersectionality of race and disability affect one's ability to live a full life without barriers.
