"I have known and worked with Gerry Costa for over 15 years. We first served together on the Board of ICDL. It was clear to both Stanley Greenspan and me that Gerry should be our next leader. He is a man of extraordinary kindness and compassion, combined with an incredible mind, outstanding clinical gifts, and a ceaseless passion to make the world a better place for all children. He is a world-leader in the study and treatment of autism and an inspiring public speaker. He has lit up our Summer Symposium several years with his wisdom and grace. I count him as one of my most trusted friends."
