Peter Gerhardt Weehawken, New Jersey

“He has taken on and worked diligently to address the most difficult challenges that face the disability community – adulthood, employment, and supporting individuals with the most significant behavioral challenges. He could have been very successful working in the ‘middle lane’ of autism and disability, but instead, he travels on the rough edges because he knows very few will choose to be there. He strives to impact change in the way others think so that doors open for adults with disabilities to truly live their best lives.”
