Kristin M. Osborne

Advisor

FAACT Vice President, Education

Kristin M. Osborne is a native of Virginia and a certified disability advocate who works tirelessly in her local community and state for those with developmental disabilities, life-threatening food allergies, and anaphylaxis. She is the founder of Virginia Food Allergy Advocates, a FAACT-recognized support group, whose mission is to educate and advocate for families navigating food allergies.

Kristin is also owner of The Prioritized Group, where she works with families whose children have ADHD and food allergies. She helps bridge the gap between diagnosis and daily life from the classroom to the kitchen.

Kristin is a 2016 graduate of the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities Partners in Policy Making Program. As a certified disability advocate, Kristin navigates food allergies, asthma, ADHD, and anaphylaxis in the community and at home. Her husband and three sons all have various food allergies to wheat, dairy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, and fish.  

As an advocate for over sixteen years, Kristin has helped school systems in Virginia by providing food allergy training and section 504 workshops for parents. She was instrumental in changing Virginia Beach Public Schools' food allergy guidelines to include epinephrine training for bus drivers, which allows drivers to administer epinephrine to students who self carry as needed.

When Kristin is not advocating in the community, you will find her at the beach with her family and friends.
