21 StrongThrough the acceptance and respect of all individuals, we allow everyone to thrive and their gifts to shine. ~21 Strong
Picture

“21 Strong has been life changing for our family! I moved from NY in 2015 to Norwalk, CT. I was in search for a school placement for my daughter, Sadey. I came across 21 Strong and my life has not been the same ever since! I've learned so many things from other parents, but most importantly I learned the importance of inclusion in school. Many of the 21 Strong parents have provided me with advice and suggestions on how to get my daughter in the general education setting. Having her included in Gen. Ed. has been monumental for Sadey. Not only is she learning with her typical peers, but she is also making great friendships along the way! We even had a summer party for her in June and most of her typical peers came to her end of the year party! Typical peers have also learned so much from Sadey. They learn how to be patient, companionate and kind. I wish I would have known about 21 Strong from the very beginning. Things would have been so different. I'm so grateful and happy to be a part of the 21 Strong community. Our lives have been so much better!”
