UTICA, N.Y. — The Kelberman Center, an affiliate of Upstate Cerebral Palsy, announced it has appointed Michael Tucker as director of special projects.
Tucker, who has 20 years’ experience in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities, has served as a mentor at the Kansas Institute for Positive Behavior Support and coordinated the development of a Texas network for the national Association for Positive Behavior Support, according to a news release from the Kelberman Center.
In his new role at the Kelberman Center, Tucker oversees multiple projects in the nonprofit agency including a partnership program with Syracuse University, which pairs intellectually and developmentally disabled Syracuse University (SU) students with a Kelberman Center peer mentor.
