Benhaven has been a big part of Robin’s life for many years. Larry Wood and Robin have been married for 42 years. Together, they raised William (Bill), who has autism. For over thirty years, Bill has benefited from the excellent supports and services he has received from Benhaven.
Robin has served in a variety of positions over the course of her career. She was a special education teacher; she held senior administrator positions in a non-profit organization; and she provided employment consulting services across the country. She also assisted school districts in Connecticut and Massachusetts to successfully include students with disabilities into their school system. Robin spent almost twenty years employed by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS). As the Director of Family Support Strategies, she reported directly to the Commissioner of DDS and was responsible for helping the department to design and deliver respite, family support, employment, and self-determination services.
As a member of the Benhaven board, she hopes to continue to advocate and help plan for the best possible services for families.
