Some people are just more special than others, it’s a fact. Smarter, kinder, more energetic, generous, engaged, more giving, principled, and positive. @mjenkins is just more of all of the above. May she find some peace among those who ❤️ her the most. gofund.me/fcf968e6

When possible, avoid the terms special needs and special education. While they remain in wide use in education and law, many view them as euphemistic and offensive. Instead, aim to be specific about the needs or services in question.

Biden is about to give the biggest speech of his life. You may notice him stutter on certain words or sounds. You may feel uncomfortable as you watch. Many people who stutter go their whole lives and never step up to a microphone. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…
