"The "I Can Do It! with Grace" Whole-Child education programs were inspired by a little girl named Grace who has involved learning disabilities due to a rare disease called Sanfilippo Syndrome. Grace does not speak and cannot do simple things that most people take for granted. When she learns something new it only comes with a great deal of focus, repetition, consistency and creative integrative/multi-sensory teaching techniques. Children with disabilities learn all about the rewards of healthy, productive work at a very young age. By watching amazing and talented teachers work with Grace, I realized that all children can benefit from this type of learning model. My other daughter Julia and I worked together and discovered that when "played" as a game, there is tremendous potential for teaching, inspiring, and motivating kids of all ages. The results are powerful, measurable, and sustainable.
The "I Can Do It! with Grace" games are an integrative learning tool supporting a unique, whole-child education experience which can be utilized by schools, hospitals, community centers, or corporations wishing to make an ultra-positive contribution to the lives of children and their families. The games are visually stimulating, fun, and can be used to teach any subject. While "playing," youngsters develop concrete goal setting and achievement habits very early-on. They will not only become better educated on the subject at hand, but will grow into better people as they also become experts on caring for themselves, others, and their environment! The results of this super simple, yet highly effective program are measurable and children obtain tangible rewards for valuable lessons learned. These lessons are "embedded" vs. "learned and forgotten" because the experience leaves a lasting imprint on their minds, bodies, and hearts. They receive encouragement and praise from adults at home, in school, and in their communities just for playing!!!
Everybody wins the "I Can Do it with Grace" game because by playing we are enhancing the health and well being of our society... one community, one institution, one family, and one CHILD at a time..." -Joan Bellontine
