Four entries from the blog Pipecleaner Dreams by 'Ashley's Mom'
This is a personal blog about the life of one particular family.
Quote: "I said 'Ashley really enjoys being in the general education classroom.
She is fully included in her childcare facility, and that has been a very
positive thing for both her and the other children.'
They said 'Ashley will bother OUR children with the frequent strange noises
she makes.'"
