“Simply brilliant. Showing students with learning challenges and their families what success can look like in the future is genius. It shifted the conversation from one focused on frustration to one focused on hope.”

“I chose to attend a session with Randi Goettl, she showed a movie; NORMAL ISN'T REAL: Succeeding with Learning Disabilities & ADHD. Afterwards some students shared their experience with learning disabilities and how they have struggled, but also what has helped them succeed. I really needed to attend a session like this one because too often I do feel alone in my disabilities- and it’s very hard for me to ask for help.”
