Lives Impacted
"Our collaboration with IAHD has been a wonderful experience. The weavers who come to the Weaving Center from IAHD are creative and decisive in the artistic choices they make. The results are often unexpected and incredibly beautiful. We learn from them, as well. We admire and appreciate the innate creativity we see in them and have learned to trust their choices. It has been a pleasure working with the IAHD weavers and look forward to our continued collaboration."

"My son has been at IAHD for almost 2 years now. He has adjusted to his new routine there great. I love watching his growing independence! It doesn’t matter who the individual is, the staff doesn’t look out for only the individuals in their own classrooms, but for all individuals.”
