children with special needs inspire a very, very special love.” When I was a child my mom had to open a home day care. The reason for this was my cousins have special needs and their mother could not find a day care that was willing to help them.

unnerving, to me it is a normal night at OSEP. This past year I was giving the opportunity to volunteer at OSEP, a program for special needs children and their siblings.
