The aid is welcomed. We now need to see this funding provided quickly, targeted well, and used effectively for the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities pupils.

Although James has almost no speech communication, we see God at work in him and through him in wonderful ways. 

By adapting our communication to meet the needs and communication styles of those we know, we can enter more fully into their world.

Let’s celebrate our ‘badges’ and use them to be a help and a blessing to people who haven’t earned their ‘badge’ yet, but are working towards it.

The lessons we have learned from James’ bath night are important lessons for us to remember in lots of scenarios, and they may just also help you too.
