“Neurodiversity isn’t just a biological fact. It’s an idea with teeth”-@JustStimming @autselfadvocacy @slooterman 19thnews.org/2022/04/julia-…

"I’m hopeful that yet more people will feel empowered to embrace their disabled identity, and that everyone will finally realize that disability is difference - not deficiency." - @judithheumann

@ECSD_Schools Love this! And congratulation to Diven and @ECSD_Schools for their continued commitment to deepening their inclusive practices 💜

A 3-legged service dog named Elliot visited Diven, focusing on inclusion! With the pups, Julie Lathrop from Kramer Foundation & Kim Stanton from Abby’s Paws visited the school & read to students about acceptance. Elliot teaches us that we are all equal! #GoExpress @pineprogram1
