These founding mothers sought ways to pull their children out of isolation and into inclusion. They built more engagement opportunities for their children through education, creating work opportunities, and developing support by bringing together parents and friends throughout the state for assurance and guidance in the development of disabled children. It is the same work ACCO continues today.
