Erin Kinney, BA

The Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices

Developmental Specialist and Client Advocacy Professional

Erin Kinney is a human services professional, advocate and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of lived experience and systems navigation. Born prematurely and raised with early intervention supports, Erin brings a deeply personal understanding of what it means to move through fragmented healthcare, disability and community systems — as both a recipient and a provider of services. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and holds an alternative Nevada IDEA Part C license, with direct experience supporting medically complex and neurodivergent individuals in early intervention and home-based and community-based settings. Erin currently consults with The Learning Community for Person-Centered Practices, a national nonprofit advancing person-centered thinking in human services organizations, and serves as an Accounting Assistant with the Nevada Department of Taxation. Her advocacy work is grounded in the belief that ethical, client-centered practice requires more than policy knowledge — it requires the courage to name tension, sit with complexity, and act with integrity on behalf of the people we serve.
