Making Special Education Actually Work

As a non-profit organization, we depend on donations to supplement the minimum monthly payment plans and below-cost billing for our lay advocacy services to families who can’t afford to pay their billing in full each month.

In an effort to better communicate the types of needs your donations help address, we are utilizing separate social media sites that highlight specific cases for which we need your specific support. Bear in mind, however, that these are only the cases of the families who were willing to share their stories with the public and there are others for which we need donation support who were not comfortable sharing their stories on the internet.

“Operation: Dalton”

This social media advocacy campaign is on behalf of Dalton Boldroff and his mother, Kaylene, to achieve appropriate behavioral interventions to address his self-injurious behaviors (“SIBs”).

Dalton has autism and engages in head-banging behaviors that can cause significant injury. He requires services to increase his functional communication skills and address his maladaptive behaviors.

“Mission: Mikayla”

This social media advocacy campaign is on behalf of Mikayla Manning and her mother, Teri-Lynn, to achieve appropriate interventions for behaviors related to her disability that prevent Mikayla from participating in school.

Mikayla has a mood disorder and learning disabilities. She requires a data-driven behavioral intervention program in order to receive educational benefit.

There is currently a disagreement between her local county mental health agency and school district that has delayed her receipt of appropriate intervention.

We extend a great deal of thanks to the families who are willing to share their stories and put real faces on the public policy issues at hand. Their willingness to go public with their cases helps raise awareness about these issues, facilitate policy changes that impact numerous children, and generate donation revenue that we can apply to other children’s cases whose families have chosen?not to go public.
