My strongest passion is working with young children. As director of a program that focuses on children with special needs and with my own background as a person with a disability, I have come to realize the importance of being able to communicate effectively.
Many children have trouble interacting.
It is important to be able to express oneself and to be able to understand others, regardless of how this is accomplished. Our preschool program includes children with and without special needs who are from several ethnic backgrounds. I believe that the key to a stronger society is to realize that diversity enriches us. It does not tear us apart. If we don't influence children to see value in one another, we will face great difficulty in making our society a better place for all of us.
