Celebrating the unique gifts received from our special needs population... Here is a video of Grace when she was four years old. She was never able to speak but here you can see what she was able to learn by working with her teachers using Applied Behavioral Analysis (the same model we use for our games)... If you listen very closely especially in the very beginning of the video, you can hear her sing some of the song "Twinkle twinkle little star" and say the word "more" in her own special way. She is in tune as she sings "up above the world so high" and "how I wonder what you are." Grace inspires profound joy, patience, and kindness and can make pretty much anyone around her more appreciative of the most simple gifts of life. Her positive energy is highly contagious!!

What can we LEARN from the happy guy in the middle??
People with special needs have so much to teach us!
Look at those medals and that big smile on his face!
This is how we see Grace and we are so thankful to have her.
In a world where we tend to live far too much in our heads
And not always enough in our HEARTS...
What a lucky and special boy in this picture
It is all about perspective.. how are we seeing our special needs population???
GRACE IS A TEACHER..!
