Dedication from the Book:

For my children, Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher
May you always reach out to the children who are different from you with love, compassion and kindness.

To my husband Arnold,
who shares his life and talent with those with disabilities. Thank you for caring.

And to my parents,
Eunice and Sargent Shriver,
two extraordinary individuals who've dedicated their lives to helping those with disabilities. I've seen you change the world with your determination and love. What a difference you have made to the millions of people with developmental disabilities.

And finally, to every parent of a child with special needs,
may we all build new dreams together.
