About the Film:
Every parent who has a child with mental or physical disabilities has worried about how that child will manage in school. Will he be teased and taunted by other children? Will his teacher have the time and expertise to cope with his struggles? Will he have a happy experience, or a discouraging and isolating time?
The film traces the humble origins of the school, named Every Child Counts, which began with just a handful of volunteers and concerned parents, to its present-day status as a beacon of hope to the nation and a shining example of what a school can be. The teachers, parents and students share their stories of struggles and success, and we see how the children have blossomed at the school, and how they have become ambassadors for changing attitudes in the community.
