Today was my son’s #FirstDayOfSchool Instead of the public school down the street I drove him 40 minutes to a private school for children with disabilities. With a ratio of 30:2 (30 four year olds!) with NO supports public education is out of the question. #CutsHurtKids The past week has been hard. On Thursday I spoke with the public school and told them that no, my son would not be attending the school with the rest of his community. Today I drove in the opposite direction of the children that would have been in my sons class

@LuckyCharms This is my son Owen. He is 4yrs old, energetic, snuggly, silly, and LOVES Lucky Charms. Like most little boys Owen likes the marshmallows most, unlike most little boys Owen is autistic and non-verbal In our house we do #LuckyCharms differently As Owen is non-verbal he uses the Picture Exchange Communication System to let us know his wants and needs Owen has been working very hard to communicate since March 2019 & we attribute lots of his skills to your marshmallows @PECS_USA
