About Us

By us, For us

Minnclusion is a consulting group started by Partners  in  Policymaking  trained developmental disability advocate Molly Hoffard. Molly is a  mother  of  two  children.  Her  son is  autistic,  non-verbal, and  “devastatingly  handsome”.  She  is  most  passionate  about  finding  opportunities  for  non-verbal  individuals  to  communicate  and  participate in  the  world  outside  of  home  as  much  as  they’d  like  to.   




We provide real world, real life input from the perspectives of those who are actually autistic or neurodiverse, actually living with a developmental disability, and actually caring for children with autism or other developmental disabilities. We aren’t doctors or therapists, we are real people with real voices. Is your business hoping to cater to the population that has sensory needs? We can help you. Are you designing a park for children with autism? We can tell you exactly what’s needed. Did you create a specialty product for kids with motor planning difficulties? Let us test it and tell you what we think. A large expensive research firm or a team of medical professionals can’t tell you what it’s like to actually fill our shoes.

Advocacy

We  are passionate about true inclusion. We believe in the dignity of risk. We believe that every  life  has  a  purpose. We believe in fair wages for all workers, regardless of disability status. We believe in places and spaces that are designed for people of all needs. We believe that schools should not resemble prisons  for  children  receiving  special  education.  


We  are  actively  advocating  for  the  following  legislation:


H.R.  7124:  Keeping  All  Students  Safe  Act


S.F.  3105:  The initiative to  build  adult  sized  changing  tables  in  public  restrooms.
