Redbird:
Dear Joe,

The situation your daughter is in angers me to say the least.  My sincere prayers of comfort and support are with her.

1 John 3:17  But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Rene:
Hi Joe,

Your daughter has a caring and compassionate spirit.  Her students are blessed to have her in their lives.  I'm sorry she had to endure such lack of support and outright hostility from some at her school.  It is just another example of the cold-heartedness that exist in the world today.

Although I feel bad that your daughter has gone through this ordeal, it has been encouraging to hear how things are working out for her.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Joe,

To bring a new way to communicate to these severely handicapped children!
What hope and joy she must have brought to the children and their parents.
She must seem like a gift from God to them, when everyone else had given up on them.

God bless her.

With Christian love,

I am very grateful for what your daughter is doing. It's wonderful and I hope she holds her ground.

I own a supported living service for adults with developmental disabilities. We teach them to live independently in their own homes. We work very hard with them with communication and helping them learn their rights and teaching them to make their own decisions. It brings tears to our eyes when they finally catch on and tell us what they want or don't want or stand up for themselves when they are being treated badly.

One of our guys could only say one word at a time when we first got him. He couldn't tell us if he hurt. He couldn't tell us what he needed or wanted. Now he says "That's my decision. I have a right to make a decision and that's what I've decided!"

Just think of the kids in your daughter's class. They won't have to wait until they are near 30 to reach that point. Not many people care enough to make that happen. They are like the nurse and the Aide. Even parents try to limit their potential.

Many prayers for your daughter and what she is trying to do.
