The Effects of Government Funding Cuts and the New Normal for People with Disabilities
Please join us for this month’s Tierra Parent Forum, featuring special guest speaker, Dr. Rebecca Lienhard, Tierra’s Chief Executive Officer, career and policy advocate for all people with developmental disabilities.
Dr. Rebecca Lienhard joined Tierra in 1990. Over the course of her tenure, she has championed inclusion and value for people with disabilities through their unique contributions to our communities. She holds a doctorate degree from the University of Southern California in Organization Change and Leadership, a Master’s degree in Special Education, with emphasis in Moderate/Severe Disabilities and is a graduate of the University of Delaware National Leadership Institute on Developmental Disabilities.
Dr. Lienhard serves as the key spokesperson for the agency in local, state, and national venues. She has served on the Vendor Advisory Committee for the California Department of Developmental Services’ North Los Angeles County Regional Center, the State Council on Developmental Disabilities’ Employment First Committee, and as Vice President of the Board of Directors for Southern California APSE (Association of People Supporting Employment First). Additionally, she serves as a member of three of California’s Department of Developmental Services Workgroups, specifically focusing on Employment, System & Fiscal Reform, and Community Resources. Through these roles, she has gained a nation-wide view of services, relevant laws, and emerging trends; all in an effort to advance meaningful and inclusive lives for adults with developmental disabilities

Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week (September 7-13, 2025) provides us with an opportunity to pause, acknowledge, and highlight the dedicated direct support workforce that is the heart and soul of supports for people with disabilities.
“It is a time to give thanks!! I am grateful to know all of our parents, caregivers, and siblings, and to be a part of your lives. I understand how busy you all are due to the holidays, but our forum will be open for anyone who wants to drop in and chat, or perhaps I can answer some questions you have.
Please note, there will be no forum in December. We will reconvene in the new year on January 27th, with a presentation from Serentas Special Needs Planning. More details to come!
Please consider your future planning goals for next year and how Tierra can help you accomplish them.”
– Julie Snyder, Tierra’s Life Planning Navigator
