Book Description
Learners with complex communication needs face large educational barriers. We see these barriers daily with our research. This memoir is not just a recounting of struggles and education barriers, but a testament to resilience and potential of learners with complex communication needs. This book inspires me to think out of the box (a clock turned into a way for people to talk) and continue to fight the battles for more breakthroughs; one person can make a big difference.
