 LYNDA KAHN
email: lynda@inclusion.com
Lynda Kahn served as the state of Rhode Island’s Executive Director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities from 1996 to 2005, and has worked on behalf of individuals with developmental disabilities for over 24 years.
Her experience has taken her from institution to community settings, involving values-based person-centered planning as a means to facilitate individual and organizational change. She is passionate about leadership, change and personal engagement to realize a more just world where everyone’s voice and gifts are welcome.
She helped found Rhode Island’s Service Quality Network, and later was instrumental in creating the Facilitator’s Forum, as well as being a catalyst in the state’s Integrated Initiative on Positive Approaches.
She is a co-leader with Inclusion Press International and the Marsha Forest Center on Inclusion, Family and Community. Lynda, together with her partner and husband, Jack Pearpoint, works with individuals, families, organizations and governments interested in positive change through facilitating conversations, planning sessions and offering training workshops.
Lynda is also at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center, as faculty advisor to an initiative focused on disaster preparedness including citizens with developmental disabilities and creating an opportunity for positive social change.
