It is a homeless shelter that has two children and nineteen adults in residence. This weekend, I was able to communicate and connect with a special needs child who was not verbal prior to our interaction. When we met, she colored pictures, and was smiling, after spending two hours with her, she looked at her family members square in the eye, pointed to me, and said teacher...What a moment.Franceshttp://www.lacommunityoutreachcenter.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-21119955153613718012012-05-03T16:19:34.505-04:002012-05-03T16:19:34.505-04:00Go Michael!!Go Michael!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-26934081745107350632012-05-03T16:04:51.328-04:002012-05-03T16:04:51.328-04:00Well, I'll be!

Quite well, actually, even though she needed a walker. If she said it was her dream, great! But if she didn't and the reporter put words in her mouth that isn't so great.<br /><br />Often when people meet Emma or just hear about her their first question is will she walk. Quite frankly, that's not on the top of my list of things I'd like her to achieve. Finding a voice - verbal or augmentative - is really at the top of my list. Everything else is just icing on the cake!Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259709507156454270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-72664502432137498702012-05-03T10:47:06.825-04:002012-05-03T10:47:06.825-04:00I sit on the Board of Directors of the Reaching Fo...I sit on the Board of Directors of the Reaching For the Stars Foundation with Michael and I can tell you his passion, and the passion of all of us at RFTS is real, focused and making a difference. <br /><br />It has taken seven years to get to where we are today and thanks to the testimony on Capitol Hill last week, we are very close to securing vital federal funding for CP research. Please go to the RFTS site and use the links to contact your elected officials today. <br /><br />Thanks so much! <br /><br />John W.
