~ "{Advocate name}, I think I would be close to the grave if I didn't
have the support from you and The Arc. I am
extremely grateful."
- AD, parent, Aurora
~ " I cannot tell you how much weight The Arc of Aurora and {individual advocate} in particular have taken off of my shoulders! The fear for my son, while not gone, is drastically reduced. {Advocate}
validated the fact that we weren't "crazy parents going off the deep end," and that there were very serious issues surrounding our son in his school environment that needed to be addressed immediately.
We didn't have to fight alone! I believe too, that bringing {advocate} and The Arc of Aurora into the situation made the district finally stand up and take notice. We weren't going to stand idly by and allow our son to be terrorized in his own school. ... So thank you for what you are doing for the special needs children in our community.
Your work is appreciated. Your work is powerful. You're giving a VOICE to those who don't otherwise have one. Thank you, for fighting for my baby."
- KM, parent, Aurora
~ "... I REALLY want to thank you for the professional yet compassionate, good, realistic advice you showed me in our phone call ... Our
family is so grateful for The Arc of Aurora and all you do! She {the advocate} was an excellent advocate for {our son} and had extensive knowledge regarding his rights as well as the rights we as parents had. I could not help to observe that the other side also had the highest respect for {the advocate} and the work she is doing. I felt that she
went above and beyond of what was expected of her ..."
