NEWS

Student makes statement about inclusion of children with disabilities — Last Fall, 13-year-old Madison Breau was given a class assignment - to write a third-grade-level children’s book about any topic. Madison, whose 9-year-old cousin, Abby, has Down syndrome, decided she would use the assignment to tell others why it’s important to include children with disabilities in the regular education classroom.

Madison’s book is beautiful and inspiring as she tells the story of a third grade class standing up for inclusion of a friend with Down syndrome. Father’s Joy is in the process of helping Madison publish her book.
