Wow. What can you say after 20+ years of dreaming, creating, collaborating, designing and making memories with incredible people. We have had quite a ride, with some lows and some amazing highs, and I really enjoyed this truly special send off with my Assistive Technology Team (who are also the amazing Open Access project statewide UDL-AT- and AAC leads!). Thank you for being the best team a person could ever hope to lead. We have done BIG things that are shifting things in BIG ways and you will carry this work on. My ever supportive, kind and giving SELPA colleagues, you represent the best of the best when it comes to guiding, facilitating, training and just listening and caring. And I am so glad a few of my very, very favorite special education peeps out there in the trenches doing the HARDEST job on the planet were able to pull themselves away from paperwork, IEP meetings, budgets, and chaos. You have always had my back and been there when I needed you most. You all make such a difference in the lives of so many people and truly have been the best people to hang with and do hard things with. I could not have asked for a better group of people to associate with and I love and cherish you all. Jillian
