I have the wonderful opportunity of introducing you to several families of whom I have either known personally, or have been their young adult's teacher. Most of the families I have had the honor of working with to ensure their children with special needs were receiving the best education I could possibly deliver. Families of whom I have been able to watch their children learn and develop academically, socially and emotionally over periods of 1-1 O years. What an honor to be trusted with their children! Each family will be introduced in their very own chapter in this book. Each chapter is written by a mother.It is my hope that each of their stories opens hearts and brings forth their dauntless, loving, unselfish and remarkable journeys.
