I was just down viewing the first day of the Collaborative Training Classroom in their new space.  I heard the stories of each of the six children.  I saw them say words for the first time, I saw them communicate for the first time, I saw them learning to take turns and ask for what they want with words or pictures for the first time.  I saw the faces of their grateful parents showing relief and joy.  I heard about the other teachers in the community learning new techniques.  I witnessed Central Washington students sharing their knowledge and research data in order to achieve a positive learning environment for children who learn in unique ways.  And with tears in my eyes, I thought of all the effort and generosity that has occurred – allowing that to happen.
