Patricia's testimonial
“He includes a lot more words in his drawings...he’ll write stories. He loves drawing pictures and he will now write words around them to give them context.”
“
“One of the great moments was when he said, ‘I’m a reader,’ and I overheard him say it to someone else. At that point, you know that he has changed his own view of himself.” I can’t even tell you how different it is.
Patricia, mother
