Johanne, Heather and I went to the McCormick Building, so Heather and I could shadow Johanne while she was talking about five bills. The five are one about ICE, two on Autism, three and four attorney’s fees and fairness to students which is the same bill and lastly five on short term objectives.
Leslie H lead a training in Lawrence which Catherine and Mike spoke about their life’s to mom’s who only speak Spanish and whose kids have autism (which also Mike has). Lars and I came to observe the training which is really cool. Also since the moms could not speak English is that they had an interpreter who also led the training. At the side were Julia Lavine and Consuelo who helped with the Spanish a lot in the training as well. Mike, Lars and I learned to believe in the kid, using transportation, the meaning of community and that it does not matter of what you are.
I went to the staff meeting, which is my first. I learned a lot about how MAC runs and Jerry’s leadership.
