Congrats to Amy Stone!

Damian Jr has many
amazing people championing his development and fighting for his success! One of
them happens to be Mrs. Amy Stone. Amy is an educator at Damian’s school, Kincaid
Elementary. She is amazing, compassionate, firm, smart, creative and determined
and works extremely well as a paraprofessional in Damian’s class. She
exemplifies Kincaid’s mission, which is “to encourage every
individual child to reach their potential while celebrating the diversity of
our school family”. That is why she received
the Certified Staff of the Year Award at Kincaid.
We celebrate in this recognition because Amy has been devoted to Damian’s care and education for the past three years. And
currently, she works with Damian exclusively while he now spends the FULL
DAY in a general education 3rd grade class. Because of the
challenges and opportunities of full inclusion for child with special needs, Amy is assigned to him to make
his experience meaningful. She wheels him everywhere he needs to go. She adapts
the curriculum to fit his needs. She gets him out of his wheelchair to work on
standing, sitting, and toileting. She works HARD each and every day. She is a tremendous advocate for our son, and we are forever
grateful.
May this recognition of Amy be a reminder that
she is making a life-long difference in the lives of many students especially our son,
Damian Jr.
We love you, Amy!
