At MDE there isn’t this agenda to make my daughter “normal” or demand that she assimilate. If she needs a movement break, she gets a movement break. If she’s struggling with potty training, they support that too. MDE is not a place we have to apologize for her exceptionalities or fight for her accommodations. She’s accepted here, and that means the world.
