Our Family Vision for Leslie:

As we have shared before, our family’s

commitment to inclusion comes from our
hearts. We are eager to support Leslie’s
educational team in whatever way we can. We
believe in the importance of structuring Leslie’s
education around the extended school year
program in order to limit areas of regression.
The number one tool for success that we can
all agree on is Communication. We are great
proponents of offering a free flow of
information, sharing ideas and expressing our
thoughts. We look forward to continuing our
collaborative and supportive relationship with
all our team members at Scott Ave School.
