In this presentation, we will expand on ways to apply HRE into everyday clinical practices through case studies that focus on individualizing HRE across learners in home, school, and community settings. We will also discuss the barriers to implementing HRE concepts including our attempts to resolve these barriers and advocate for our learners. *NOTE: This was presented at NYSABA
