It came to our attention that several children were saying that is was their ‘dream’ to be able to attend a special education school where they could experience success and start to feel better about themselves. So we created a ‘dream’ committee who developed a plan to make this a reality. We also decided to create a video. We really didn’t have any idea how to go about making the video but after much thought and planning we ended up simply placing the mic under the noses of two children, Sofie and Theresa, and one mom, and letting them talk. What they had to say amazed and stunned us.

Great work! So very true of many, many children
Thanks for sharing your stories. So inspiring to hear it not only from a child’s perspective but from a parent’s view. I don’t know how anyone can watch this without getting teary….=)
Made me cry – why do these kids have to suffer so much! It’s just wrong
This is so sad. Just watching it reminded me of the hell I felt in Math class all throughout elementary and high school way back when. I don’t know if I had a learning disability but something wasn’t working. That little girl, Sophie, explained it perfectly. Like it makes you want to puke and dizzy etc. Wow. Congratulations on telling a heart
wrenching story with an important message and for WINNING!
