As a special educator one of my greatest joy is seeing the lives of my children transformed.

Sometimes I can't hold back tears when I see the joy in the eyes of parents when their child does something they thought he or she can't or won't be able to do.

Today I stood in awe as a boy tagged mute was singing, jumping and dancing.

When this boy started with us, he couldn't’t talk. He would look at you and sometimes make sounds you won't understand.

We worked on him, day by day, we used different speech therapy methods, songs, speech drills, play, repetition.

And today, that same boy talks, sings and even calls names clearly.

There is also a young lady girl with intellectual disability. Toilet training was a huge challenge for her. She couldn’t use the toilet, wash her hands or even care for herself at all.

We took it step by step teaching her routines, using rewards, celebrating her little wins. Now, she uses the toilet perfectly by herself.

Moments like these remind me why I do what I do.

Progress might look small to others, but for us, it’s a testimony and a big win.

With love, patience, right tools and strategies, children with disabilities can learn, grow and achieve anything.

Disability is not limitation. It is only a different pathway to greatness.
