Where it all started...
With Wendy Belzberg and Town of Bedford Supervisor Ellen Calves at the helm, a Neurodiversity Task Force was formed within Bedford, with local stakeholders involved and serving quickly formed committees. The interest and work were launched quickly, especially because so many participants had a personal stake in the outcomes of this task force. The Katonah Chamber of Commerce, which has members from all over the Town of Bedford (Bedford, Katonah, Bedford Hills), quickly joined forces with the task force to solidify the first training run by Anderson Center Consulting & Training. This would be the beginning of The Inclusive Initiative, the more formal mission-driven group to continue the work in Bedford and surrounding communities that the task force had already begun.
