About Our Speakers:

Robin Tatsuda, MSW

Director of Information & Family Support at The Arc of King County

While Robin does not (yet) identify as disabled, she has been surrounded by disability her entire life.  Driven by the foundational values that disability is a form of diversity and that disability rights are civil rights, Robin is delighted to be part of The Arc of King County team promoting and protecting the human and civil rights of people with developmental disabilities. 

Jae Kim is an Information and Resource Coordinator at the Arc of KingCounty. As a social worker who has a developmental disability, she believes these services are critical. Jae believe that social services are a basic need to which all people should have access. This is also why she wanted to study social work – to advocate for people with disabilities and support them to lead successful lives. She wants to help them find their voice because they are the ones that face the challenges and they know what they need to be successful.
