Behavior Speaks Volumes,
Look and LISTEN 

Behavior is communication.  I've said it a thousand times and truly believe this.  Acting-out can come in many forms from aggression to attention seeking to annoyance.  Sometimes I think Jake is just being a turkey, in the wake of recent activities, I will always look beyond what I actually see. 
 "Jake...you are an amazing young man. Thank you for changing the world one day at a time. I am honored to know you and call you my friend." 
Assistant Chief of Police Betsy Davis, Montgomery County Maryland Police Department
“ Jake is a great kid who will be famous and rule the world one day. Good for us, to get on the Jake bandwagon early! Jake is motivational and represents both the struggles and accomplishments of a person with Autism.”   Ofc. Laurie Reyes, MCPd  autism and alzheimer's outreach
"That kid is an amazing young man and I wish we could bottle his spirit and spread it around this country. Wow!"
​ Retired First Sgt. Chris McClellan, North Carolina Highway Patrol
