Speaking & Training
Bring Disability, Design, and Dignity to the Front of the Room
Amber doesn’t just talk about accessibility—she lives it. As a nationally recognized advocate, coach, consultant, paraplegic and parent to children with disabilities, she weaves lived experience with policy expertise and storytelling to spark conversations that matter. Whether she’s speaking to moms, government leaders, nonprofit teams, corporate staff, or disabilities communities, Amber helps audiences rethink what’s possible when we create for all.
Through keynotes, trainings, and workshops, Amber challenges outdated assumptions, shares real-world strategies, and invites participants to create meaningful change—from the inside out.
“I help people build a world where anyone impacted by disability and can thrive by cultivating mindset shifts around disability, accessibility and purposefully designing what comes next.”
