"Everyone who was fortunate enough to attend gained a valuable lesson in life and walked away a better person for the experience. I have attended many assemblies over the years, but none have been as successful in long term effects on student behavior as yours."

Bruce Terry, principal, Plaza Vista school.

"I felt that my class of first graders developed an understanding of disabilities and how people really are just like them even though they may look different."

Teacher, Foxborough school.

"There is nothing like REALITY. This was very powerful, interesting and extremely important to all listeners."

Teacher, California Elementary school.

"Thought provoking and awesome, helped students develop empathy toward those with disabilities."

Teacher, Corona Fundamental school

"It was inspiring and most uplifting. The students enjoyed seeing the tools used as well as the message. It was powerful for students to hear that people with disablilities are just people. The students said that the speakers were "SUPER" and it was a great "life" lesson for all of us."

Teachers at Greentree elementary school

"I think 'to believe in yourself' was the most significant message because I have diabetes and sometimes I think that my life is doomed to take shots and blood test annoyingly forever. Thanks to you I know how to overcome my fear."

Thanks, Adam

"The children’s hearts and mine, too, were touched by your gentle, kind, and loving spirit."

Ann Ritchie, 3rd grade teacher, Hopkinsons school

"Thank you so much for the great presentation. This was the second time that the DisAbility Awareness Foundation appeared at our school. The students were extremely engaged and attentive to your message. I, particularly, like the way you handled delicate issues with dignity and respect. Since we now have programs that support children with handicaps, our boys and girls will know how to interact."

Tom Perrie, principal, Culverdale school

"Your speakers were very effective in presenting their message. The assembly was a good experience for all of our children."

Chuck Prince, principal, Trabuco Mesa School

"Thank you for coming to our school. You all have a lot of courage to come and speak with us. I am now thankful for everything I have. You're GREAT!!"

Nisa, student
