Our presentation

"Lauri, Brittany, Lindsey entertained, intrigued, and united the students in an understanding of    some of the issues that people with autism, epilepsy, and other disabling issues face. Their ability to share their emotions associated with their courageous pursuit of education for their family has opened the door for many of my students to express their needs."

"I have had the opportunity to have Lauri, Brittany and Lindsey Moreland present to a university class that I teach at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. Students in this class have reported to me that they found this presentation extremely helpful as future teaches. They reported that they have found it helpful in the following ways:

1. In gaining an understanding of autism, learning disabilities, and mental illness from first                    hand experiences.

2. In providing them with tools and strategies to provide quality teaching not only to students with autism but all needs. This includes focusing on proactive and strength driven teaching.

3. To help with the understanding of how all students should be viewed as individuals and that many of their needs are more alike then different.

This presentation is very informative and provides a helpful resource to families, educators, students, and communities."

"Thank you again Lauri, Brittany, and Lindsey! We appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to present very vital information about Autism to our students. I truly believe after talking with the students today, that your story has touched each of their hearts and will help them become better occupational therapy assistants. Thank you so much!"

This gives me so much hope!!

My son has ADHD and listening to what this family has had to go through makes the      struggles my son has had to go through look small in comparison. It made me more thankful for what I have.

Very inspiring - great to hear how bullying was addressed.

Always appreciate hearing a story from the self-perspective. Such a hard story - well presented by the family.

I thought it was helpful to me as a para at a middle school to see the need of helping children to be a partner with other students.

Hearing 3 perspectives from the same family about the same history was incredible, really showed a complete picture of a situation. The candor all 3 expressed was amazing - showed so much communication. Would love to read the book.

They all spoke very well and were all able to provide insight into the experiences of several different people who are impacted by autism and other life changes/challenges.

They were amazing! I can't wait for the book.

I enjoyed hearing Lindsey's overview of her struggles, how she never gave up and her advice. It was beneficial to listen to Laurie and Brittney's stories as how they each were accomplishing their goal in trying to make a difference.
