Over the course of nearly 20 years at the Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), Jaimie has had leadership roles in projects related to state systems and organizational change, Community Life Engagement, and transition for individuals with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Jaimie has administered dozens of local, regional, and national projects involving project staffing, managing subcontracts, work plan creation and adherence, research protections, and budgeting, while collaborating with both internal and external researchers and others. Jaimie held the role of Project Director on a three-year Maternal and Child Health Bureau’s Autism Intervention Grant, testing the impact of community service on transition age youth with ASD. In addition, Jaimie acted as PI for a project evaluating a college-based transition program for young adults with ASD located at the University of South Florida, Tampa. Jaimie is also Project Director of ICIs ACL-funded Access to Integrated Employment Project, a twenty-year Project of National Significance collecting data on employment services and outcomes for individuals with IDD. She also acts as PI on a line of research related to organizational transformation of agencies seeking to close their sheltered workshops as part of ICI’s Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Advancing Employment for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Jaimie's research interests stem from her background providing direct services to families with children with special health care needs and ASD.
