Hello fellow educators, friends, and supporters! I hope my students inspire you as much as they inspire me. My students are diagnosed with Autism and loving school! Even though they experience great difficulties in communication and academics, they work as hard, if not harder, than any group of kids I know. We face these challenges together, and I look forward to sharing our experiences with this wonderful community. "If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people." - Chinese Proverb
