Laura San Giacomo Galeria Quote: I have a son, Mason, who is disabled-cerebral palsy-and he does not walk independently, sit independently or speak. He uses a talking computer. I started becoming an advocate for him when he was three years old. He was soon going to enter the school system. A lot of health care professionals that I work with-doctors, physical therapists and occupational therapists-told me that I should research inclusive education for him...that it would be very important for him to have typical peer role models. (They told me about) a wonderful program here in California called "The CHIME Institute" which is affiliated with CSUN (California State University, Northridge). They run a lab group for pre-school and kindergarten. And, they include two to three children with disabilities per classroom of 17 or 18 typical children. I was very fortunate that there was a space available for my son. ENTER HERE
