Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my colleagues at Northwest ABA and ABLE Health who have openly engaged in the development of a collaborative model. A sincere thank you to the University of Washington LEND faculty and mentors, community mentors, and fellow LEND trainees who have supported and facilitated my growth as a leader and professional throughout the LEND experience. The utmost gratitude is due to Dr. Laura Snow, my LEND mentor, who has helped me refine my approaches to leadership and facilitated expansive opportunities to improve collaborative services within our communities.
