Any one who knows me knows that autism awareness is one of my biggest passions. I work at Oakstone Academy (a full inclusion peer model school that specializes in children with autism and similar disabilities) part time and absolutely love every minute of it. These speeches were done by two students who attend Oakstone Academy - one who is on the spectrum and one who is not - at the Autism Awareness rally at the Ohio State Court House in support of House Bill 8. Many insurance companies do not include autism therapies in their health care coverage, and HB 8 is looking to put an end to that. For more information on HB 8 check out: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=128_HB_8

Although my children are not Autistic I chose to enroll them at Oakstone. I am so glad I did. These kids are amazing and have also taught my children that not everyone is the same and everyone deserves to be treated with respect. My children have helped other kids learn as well as them helping my children to become better people themselves.
