Education is the best medicine— Successful learning builds health and wellness.
Partnerships are the foundation of good educational practice— Successful learning occurs when partnerships are strong- between adults, and between adults and the children and youth whom they serve.
Erik’s inspiration
Children with disabilities teach us about who we are. When we understand children with disabilities, we understand all children. When we understand children, we understand ourselves.
Erik sometimes also adds the following line to his inspiration: When we understand ourselves, we can make the world into a better place. Join Erik in learning from all children, to understand who we all are, and to use what we’ve learned to make the world into a better place.
