Autism Collier Charter school’s first graduation! This began as a dream, but it stopped being my dream a long time ago. The vision multiplied because people believed in it. And when enough people believe in something, there is no ceiling, no limit, and no telling how many lives can be changed.

Moments like this remind me that we still live in the greatest State in the greatest country! Thank you @FLSenate @FloridaHouse

Florida families should not have to wait until crisis to receive support.
Today, state budget language was adopted that zeros out GR funding for new APD waiver onboarding unless an individual is already in crisis. That means many families may now be forced to wait for collapse before receiving help

In case anyone didn’t already know, THIS makes all the going and doing and being worth it! I love being their mom. I love seeing them grow and I want everyone and their kids to have the opportunity to experience joy! Happy #autismacceptance Month!

@EDSecMcMahon Thank you!

@sbaroncohen Just read Zero Degrees of Empathy and found it really thought-provoking. As a mom of two autistic teens and someone working closely with families, it added an interesting lens to conversations I’m in every day.

@FLSenate @FLSenateGOP @Kathleen4SWFL @VeryBettsy I may be a little biased, but she really is the best Senator in the state! We are so grateful in SWFL for everything she has done!

I’ve been advocating for families for years. Two of my four sons are non-speaking and have needed me to be their voice. That experience led me to co-found an autism charter school to help fill the gaps many families face in education. Now that education decisions are returning to the states, I’m running for school board to make sure parents are truly engaged and their rights are respected in our schools. I had the chance to speak with you at the special education roundtable, and I would be honored to earn your support.

@DannyBurgessFL Great recap! You forgot to add in that you helped lost mom get to her committee in Knott! You probably do that regularly but it meant so much to me that you went out of your way to help me find my way! Thank you!

[Stephanie Nordin @Autismcollier]

@ScottforFlorida @ByronDonalds @realDonaldTrump I’ve been traveling the state too! That’s one smart governor ;)

[Stephanie Nordin @Autismcollier]

Watching principled leadership in action has a way of clarifying your own path.

Grateful for the example.

@Sen_Albritton Thank you, President Albritton. Transparency and accountability in education funding matter for families, schools, and taxpayers alike.

@Fla_Pol @Gayle_Harrell @JesseScheckner Matching the definition to the DSM-V would be a win for everyone… especially people with ASD! Great work @Gayle_Harrell
I hope for so many friends of mine that the language finds it way through to March 13!
