    Jessica Irwin! Thank you for speaking out. I running late today and my loved ones birthday and this loved one died in February of ALS, which forced her to become nonverbal. I saw all the injustices and tried to stop as many as I could. I will definitely look you up and see where I can help so others can stop being treated this way. They are all intelligent, capable talented and need to be treated as such. They have a voice that needs to be heard. Their ability to choose/be heard should not be taken away from them.
