Ross Macdonald School, Brantford Ontario in the Deafblind Unit, In 1989 she began working as a Resource consultant, traveling Ontario supporting students with deafblindness aged birth to 21 and their families. In 1999 she heard the call of the west coast and moved to Richmond to serve as the Executive Director of Deafblind Rubella Housing, which is now Deafblind Services Society of BC (DSS-BC). She took some time off to start her family, and in April of 2003 she started in the Early Intervention Program for the BC Chapter. The Early Intervention program gives Allison the opportunity to use her many skills as an Intervenor, Resource Professional and Deafblind consultant in her work with families all across BC.
When not working at the CDBRA-BC, Allison spends her time “dressing up like a princess” and shooting arrows with the Society for Creative Anachronism.
