2012 Council Vice President: Ric Nelson Assists with "you know me..." Campaign

"All my life people have underestimated me."

"Having cerebral Palsy has never slowed me down. Early intervention helped get me on the right path and with hard work I'm fulfilling my goals. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class, earned a full tuition college scholarship and today I'm a business major at UAA."

"Ninety percent of brain development takes place in the first three years of life. Early intervention services, such as speech and hearing services, family training and physical therapy, for children with developmental delays or disabilities increases their opportunities for leading successful lives."

For early intervention resources contact:

The Governor's Council on Disabilities & Special Education at 1-888-269-8990 or The Trust at www.mhtrust.org.
