She started as a Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities trainee and took her personal experience as a parent of a child with a disability to help support other families with additional opportunity and programs at MMI.

Falk previously developed the Respite Employer Engagement initiative through a pilot project, and from 2015 to 2017 served as the Respite Employer Engagement Coordinator through a contract with the Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network. A replicable model of employer recruitment has been used to share respite resources with employers since 2017. She also partnered with the Center of Children, Families and the Law, and the University of Wisconsin in Madison to develop Nebraska’s working caregiver survey. This is an anonymous survey that employers can use to better support working caregivers on their teams.
