On this week’s episode, The PodCASP team is joined by fellow CASP member, Courtney Wright.  Courtney currently serves as CEO and General Counsel at Children’s Autism Center. Courtney came to CAC in December 2012 after leaving her position as partner at a law firm in Dallas. After doing a great deal of volunteer work for autism awareness in Dallas and being inspired by her mother, Phyllis, Courtney decided to make a career change to work with children with Autism. She went back to school and became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst in 2014. Courtney has experience with children of all ages diagnosed with ASD. Prior to working at CAC, Courtney had extensive legal experience in the insurance industry, something which she now uses to help families navigate the insurance process.
