Letters from Friends

Dear American Autism Association,
My dream is to quietly walk into a room, standoff in the distance and smile at the sight of my twin boys, playing and talking with each other. Presently, that is not possible and so I write this letter asking for your assistance in making this “simple” dream a reality.  Read more

 

Dear American Autism Association:
I am writing this letter to express our gratitude to you and your organization. With your help and support our child will benefit from a socialization/recreation program where he will be taught how to interact and play with other children, also, have fun. These skills will increase his social abilities to make friends and have better opportunities to become a productive member of society.  Read more

 

If I may, I would just like to take a few moments of your time to speak on behalf of Gabriel and his family. I have worked closely with Gabriel Hernandez and his family over the last seven months as his special education teacher. From the moment I met Gabriel it was clear to me that he had a true passion for learning.

In addition to his academic achievements, Gabriel has been working very hard to overcome social-emotional obstacles that often impact his daily routine. Gabriel enjoys interacting with his peers but at times has a tendency to miss social cues. It is my belief that the root of Gabriel’s social-emotional deficits stem from a lack of self confidence.
