Allison Cohen-Hall is the October awardee for Innovation in LifeCourse Research. Allison and her colleagues at Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI) at University of Massachusetts, Boston, conducted a Facebook intervention with families of transition aged youth that used Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) materials. The research showed an impact on families’ attitudes, expectations and activities about transition planning. Allison’s colleagues at ICI describe her as “a great coworker and member of our State Systems team, a person with a high sense of professionalism who is also fun to get to know. She has been a steady leader for the Center on Advancing Employment for Individuals with IDD, often working crazy hours due to time zone differences between where she lives in Arizona and our Boston-based office. She is dedicated to conducting and presenting high-value research that advances community inclusion. She is open to working with and learning from a wide range of stakeholders to improve what we do as a team and as a part of UMass Boston. Allison has been a leader in engaging our partners in meaningful ways, and in particular supporting a strong role for members of SABE and Green Mountain Self Advocates in our Research and Training Center.”
