Possibly the most beautiful thing you’ve ever done. We came across your work when we were lost, bewildered and so alone. You showed us that others were going through the same experiences despite the schools pretended surprise that none of their accommodations were working. You gave us hope and courage to find another way. The joy of seeing their small steps and achievements. The hope thatindependence may yet come. That they may start to thrive not just survive. Thank you.
