A heartfelt appreciation to #Assisi_Vidya_Niketan_School and its entire community, including the Management team, teachers, parents, students, and support staff. We want to express our sincere gratitude for your steadfast support and dedication to programs centered around neurodiversity and inclusion. Your commitment to fostering an environment of understanding and acceptance within a mainstream school setting is truly commendable. We are deeply grateful for providing the venue for hosting the recent International conference on "Building Bridges in Inclusive Education: From Paper to Practice." Your willingness to facilitate such important dialogues and collaborations demonstrates your readiness to address the gap between policy and practice. It takes courage to acknowledge existing challenges, and your proactive approach is admirable. Bringing together diverse voices, including parents, teachers, special educators, therapists, students, and self-advocates, is no small feat. It requires active engagement with differing perspectives and the courage to navigate difficult conversations. Your openness to vulnerability and commitment to seeking growth opportunities for all is a testament to your dedication to inclusivity. During the conference, we heard a wide range of voices advocating for various approaches, from behavioral and dietary interventions to calls for classroom management, teacher training, and parent involvement. Your willingness to acknowledge gaps in practice and engage in meaningful discussions sets a powerful example for other institutions. We applaud your courage, dedication, and vision in championing the cause of neurodiversity and inclusion. Your efforts are making a profound impact on the lives of individuals within your school community and beyond. Special appreciation goes to dear Rose for her efforts in bringing everyone together and making the conference a success. Thank you once again for your invaluable contributions and for leading by example in creating a more inclusive society.
