Working with Dennis was so productive and easy. He brought a great deal of skill and empathy to the work, and it was such a pleasure being guided by him through all the different programs and events to further our impact from ideas to implementations. Our success would not be possible without him. If you're looking for a program consultant, advisor, or project manager for your organization, I highly recommend considering Dennis for your team!

Working with Dennis was a pleasure as a remote worker before the widespread adoption of remote work, Dennis proved to be an easy collaborator. His ability to quickly learn and perform a wide range of tasks without extensive training was important. Given the diverse range of platforms vablet utilized, including tablets from Apple, Android, and Windows devices, as well as browsers with varying skill sets, Dennis’s adaptability and willingness to learn new technologies were crucial to his success during his tenure with us.Dennis helped us transition to a completely new tech support platform. He had to learn Zendesk, organize hundreds of files and then was responsible for providing support to our customers. He was responsible for maintaining the help system as many changes to the platform were common as new vablet features were introduced.Dennis also performed QA on multiple vablet platforms and device types. Vablet runs on iOS, Windows and Web. His ability to grasp multiple operating systems and learn the nuances of the platform was very helpful.

Dennis was a part of our inaugural cohort of Fellows in 2022 and returned in 2025, where he is recognized by myself and the rest of senior leadership as the most distinguished contributor amongst multiple cohorts to our mission of disability advocacy and inclusion.
Dennis is a brilliant writer, communicator, and emerging leader. He is driven deeply to lead with empathy, collaboration, and authenticity, and he has an uncanny knack for cultivating inclusive communities and managing partnerships with collaborating organizations."

It's been such a joy getting to know Dennis and working with him. I really appreciate all the work he had done and his contribution to our business during the pandemic. He's a thoughtful, kind, and whip smart producer!

I first connected with Dennis when I started at what was then RespectAbility, and have had the privilege of working with him during his tenure with Disability BelongsTM and our continued collaboration across disability advocacy, media, and community spaces. Dennis is a leader whose impact is both profound and deeply human. Dennis brings an extraordinary combination of lived experience, strategic insight, and care-centered leadership. As a queer, partially blind, late-identified autistic-ADHDer, he transforms personal insight into systemic change, whether consulting on authentic disability representation in entertainment, mentoring emerging advocates, or advising organizations on inclusive design, neurodiversity-affirming environment, and storytelling. During the Fellowship and beyond, one of Dennis’ most notable contributions is his invaluable consultation to the show Blue’s Clues & You for the show’s first-ever autistic character, Lavender. What sets Dennis apart is not only the breadth of his work but the integrity with which he leads. He builds bridges across sectors while centering those most often left out of the conversation. His commitment to Disability BelongsTM’ mission is ongoing, values-aligned, and rooted in community accountability. Dennis does not seek visibility for himself alone; he consistently creates space for others. In fact, my own relationship with Dennis is longer than my own diagnosis journey – Dennis was one of first people I told when I learned of own late ADHD diagnosis, and I have appreciated his support, guidance and empathy throughout this process. His leadership reflects the future of disability advocacy: intersectional, relational, and transformative. I wholehearted reccomend Dennis Tran and and am confident his continued work will shape more inclusive and representative systems for years to come.

Dennis served as our Marketing Coordinator at the Autism Society of America, where he played a key role in supporting our digital strategy through website management, social media execution, and cross-team coordination. He managed campaign timelines, monitored engagement across channels, and helped strengthen our overall digital presence.

Dennis brought thoughtful ideas, was always accessible, and has a strong willingness to learn. He contributed meaningfully to strategic discussions and was always looking to expand his skills. His positive attitude and dedication to growth make him a valuable teammate and someone I hope to see thrive in his future endeavors for advocacy!

I had the pleasure of managing Dennis during his time at the Autism Society of America, and he was truly a joy to work with. Dennis is efficient, reliable, and consistently delivers quality work on time. His strong sense of accountability and commitment to excellence made him someone I could always count on.

Dennis brought fresh, innovative ideas that elevated the way our team approached communications. He thoughtfully identified culturally diverse audiences we had not been speaking directly to, helping us broaden our reach in meaningful and inclusive ways. His perspective pushed our team to think more intentionally about who we were serving and how we could better connect with them.

During his time with the Autism Society, Dennis also conducted a strategic review of our social media performance and translated those insights into a detailed, actionable plan. He tailored recommendations for each platform, ensuring our messaging resonated with a wide range of audience segments. His work helped guide our ongoing social media approach to content development, copywriting, and overall communication strategy, which showed a strong increase in engagement over time.

Beyond his technical strengths, Dennis is collaborative, positive, and an all-around great team member. He would be a valuable asset to any organization looking for someone who combines creativity, strategy, and a genuine commitment to inclusive communication.
