Carly Christopher previously worked as a behavioral consultant and behavioral therapist for various non-public agencies (NPA) in California serving students with autism and emotional disturbance (ED) both in the home and school settings. In addition, she developed behavior plans with educators and parents with a focus on positive reinforcement systems. During her years in law school, she was a law clerk for Disability Rights California, formerly known as Protection & Advocacy. Following law school, Carly worked at Loughrey and Woelfel, a firm specializing in special education litigation.

Carly has worked in over 50 school districts, successfully resolving cases for students with a variety of disabilities including, but not limited to, autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, rare genetic disorders, and severe depression. In 2016, Carly successfully argued in front of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals creating caselaw that would improve the lives of children with disabilities across the country. She is dedicated to working towards inclusive societies for people living with disabilities. She has guest lectured at Touro University, San Francisco State University and for agencies supporting people with disabilities such as Support for Families of Children with Disabilities in San Francisco. In addition, she has presented at the California Association of Behavior Analyst Conference with a team of psychologists and educators.

She is a member of the Council of Parents Advocates and Attorneys (COPAA) and California Association of Parent and Child Advocacy (CAPCA). She believes that each and every person deserves dignity and respect and the opportunity to be a contributing member of society.
