I wonder if you are aware of MORIAH. Below is a link to the website. It pairs typical kids with those who have special needs in a variety of activities. It may be a resource for Sophie or other families you know: https://www.moriahus.org/us/

dont you just love the wisdom of our kids . .BIG kids . .C was never accepted by best buddies . .who knows . .I gave up trying to figure out forced friendship long ago . BUT I did hold out hopes for Valley Big Brother . .Because C had limited skills verbally (his cp) they matched him up with a really really old guy (probably the age I am now)who was also Deaf . .Big brothers decided since C couldn’t talk this was a perfect duo. We lasted two outings before we terrified this guy and never heard from him again . .sighhhhh – I think Sophie is everyone’s Best Buddy – she gets it . and she cares.

Clearly we have a long way to go if Sophie has “to worm her way in” at a school she loves. I am thankful that she has found her way outside of school. I am equally concerned about students who are completely disconnected and have no healthy social and extra curricular connections— in or outside of school. Thanks for bringing this to light.
