I have Nick Vujicic's DVD in my lending library: "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries" It was shown at our First Caring and Courageous Kids assembly in Ocober 2011 and everyone loved it. Don't miss his beautiful Youtube song: Something More

My friend, Lori Ciccarelli, made a documentary about her son, JJ, who has Asperger's Syndrome. I am also a guest speaker in this documentary as his speech-language therapist. At the time I was working with JJ he was in high school and facing bullying at its worst. “Since intolerance has been the hardest part of our journey, I want to help educate society.” JJ's Journey is a story of hope encouraging other families on this same journey."
