@saving_liv: Liv has a form of childhood Alzheimer’s called Sanfilippo Syndrome. She peaked at the age of 2 or 3 and has regressed physically and cognitively. School has provided a safe, fun, sensory place for her to thrive. I am forever grateful 💛 #sanfilipposyndrome #savingliv #publicschool #fyp

A free and appropriate public education is her civil right. As teachers, we are here to deliver on that right 🧡

Kids learn inclusion by actually living it—not just by being told, “Everyone is different and everyone matters.” They get to know a little girl who communicates and experiences the world differently, and they learn to be patient, gentle, helpful, and comfortable around someone whose abilities aren't the same as theirs. And Liv gets something equally important: she gets to belong. She's not there simply to be an object lesson; she's a child who deserves classmates, experiences, relationships, fun, and a place in her community. I'm so happy you get time to do other things, she is happy and others get to love her. A beautiful thing.

She’s going because everyone belongs!! ❤️It’s so wonderful to have a public school for amazing, special children, where they can receive all the care, attention, and support they deserve.

Liv has more intelligence in her pinkie than most people have in their brains, especially the one who made the comment you’re addressing here. And you are a woman brimming with grace.

I’m a special education director - I absolutely love your videos! Would you mind sharing a bit about Liv‘s IEP goals? The law requires goals that ensure children make progress. So what does that look like when Sanfilippo actually causes mental and physical decline? Thank you for your messages of love and acceptance. You are always so patient with people’s questions.

Well said. I had a daughter with SanFillippo and she went to public school her entire life. Good for her and good for me.

I am so sorry someone would say that to you! Every child deserves to go to school. It’s so important for them.

School OT here. We do love your kids. We worry about them. We think of them when we’re not at work and even after they’ve left our caseload. Sometimes we even buy our own supplies with just one particular student in mind. Yay for Liv!

The audacity for someone to even ask or say something like that - ugh

I taught mainly second grade for years. I think many parents would be shocked and so pleased to realize that teachers really do love their students. They were always ‘my kids’ and I really loved them so much!

Oh my gosh, I can’t imagine asking that question. I would probably respond with… Why wouldn’t I?

I think I met Liv once when I was a substitute teacher! She did seemed very well loved by her aide and other teachers.

As a special ed teacher, it’s so beautiful to see students blossom in their own ways every day. There’s more to life than math and english 🥹

You did the right thing sending her to school. Your child deserves a break and so do you. You’re absolutely correct…she needs a routine and structure. 💙🙏

Some of these comments don’t pass the vibe check. As a public school teacher, I’m here to remind everyone that attending school is her right! I teach high school biology and while I am a general ed teacher, I co-teach with a special education teacher. We have had students with different diagnoses but similar cognitive levels to Liv in our class and it’s been a true pleasure to teach them!

My son is mildly autistic and his best buddy at school is a child with a genetic disorder and cognitive disabilities. They’re a perfect pair - he yammers at her all day about whatever bug he’s interested in and she loves playing with him. They’re the sweetest
