09/17/2019
Britt Sutton, ’16, associate director for the IU McKinney Center for Law and Health, was recently nominated as a Champion of the Year for the Best Buddies of Indiana.
Sutton, who worked as an Applied Behavioral Analysis therapist for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders before attending law school, focused on healthcare law, advocacy and policy while pursuing her juris doctorate. During her academic career, she was the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) Legal Fellow at the Riley Child Development Center and the inaugural Michael and Nancie Freeborn Civil and Human Rights Fellow. Her fellowship research and work concentrated in health law and policy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with an emphasis on maternal and child health.
Until March of 2018, she was the Director of Policy for the Indiana Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services where she specialized in administrative law and policy composition for the Indiana Medicaid Home and Community Based Services Waiver programs. She is currently the associate director of the Hall Center for Law and Health and supervises the McKinney LEND Legal Fellows in conjunction with the Riley Child Development Center.
“I am incredibly grateful that the Best Buddies organization recognized these efforts and now I am able to advocate as a Champion,” Sutton said.
She will be honored at the organization’s gala on November 9 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, and is fundraising with her “campaign manager,” Best Buddy Ned (above left, with Sutton).
