Geri Christ Landry has been a longtime autism advocate and was founder of the Southwest Louisiana Autism Chapter. Back in 1996, Landry could be found publishing a newsletter, referring names of experts to testify in a school mediation regarding an autistic child, and learning about the latest therapies to help autistic children. A retired special education teacher, she ran a toll-free number for autism information through her home and was often the first resource parents turned to after their child was diagnosed as autistic.
