Great motivator
by: Sally Carlton

This opportunity will be a marvelous motivator for our learners. Hutton House in London, Ontario offers support to persons with disabilities, and just one of things we do is education. Contests are always popular and poetry allows such individual expression. Thank you.

Marvelous opportunity!
by: Susan

Finally! My nephew, who has autism, will be over the moon when I tell him about the Ideal-Way Poetry Competition. He is a highly creative, and gifted, little boy, but until now he wasn't given the opportunity to submit his work.

Thank you for giving all intellectually disabled individuals throughout Canada the opportunity to shine!
