Erik Weber is an attorney, a champion runner and running coach, an author, and a motivational video creator and speaker. Oh, and he is also autistic. His own special education experiences, and his unique ability to understand and advocate for special needs students, have helped countless families navigate the IEP process in California.
A passion for helping the disabled community has fueled Erik’s greatest accomplishments to date. As a law student, Erik wrote a paper exposing deficiencies in state-run institutions for people with disabilities, which led to California staffing regulation reforms and more oversight in group homes. And along with running marathons, he formed a running team for special needs kids to help them develop self-confidence, and learn, in his words, “how to be their own heroes.” Join us to meet a sticky lawyer like no other.
