My name is Teshia Fowler, and I am the Director of Waiver Services at Easterseals Alaska.
My responsibilities include oversight of operations and support to the Waiver programs through policy, enrollment, regulations, and all day-to-day activities. Other duties involve overseeing staff and providing guidance and training on their duties and responsibilities. The most important aspect of my position is ensuring that quality services are provided to all our clients on a day-to-day basis. I strive to achieve excellence in care in all situations.
Prior to working at Easterseals Alaska, I was at the Arc of Anchorage for 8 years. During which time I was a Direct Service Provider, Group Home Supervisor, Case Manager, Team Leader II of Community Living Services, and Residential Services Programs. In December of 2019, I transitioned to Easterseals Alaska, where I began working as the Director of Waiver Services, and I have been very excited for my journey here.
I am thrilled to continue my passion for working with individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have a special interest in working with children on the Autism Spectrum, due to my strong desire to understand the disorder and support all children to thrive.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I began working professionally in the Human Services field in May of 1998 as a Child Therapy Instructor II in Pomona, California. I relocated to Anchorage, Alaska, in April of 2007. I am married with 2 adult children, and a grandmother of three!
