TESTIMONIALS
I never knew Mark Reeves as a retarded boy. He’s always been my exceptional brother, the one who knew me best. His spirit is strong, surprising because of the decades of doubt he had endured-labeled “retarded”. He has developed into a leader who the so-called normal community will have to recon with. He will not be dismissed, no silenced nor ignored.Mark Reeves is a force of his own, and the sooner the rest of the world acknowledges him the better. His message rings true for every person on this earth. Different is not bad, and normal as many faces. …..

Mark turns belief systems upside down and inside out. He forces you to examine all your unspoken thoughts and to put words to the un-named information that we all carry around with us… the stuff that keeps people segregated and devalued. The issues between you no longer reside in him, but in YOU and your preceptions of him. It is a gift that he brings you… a chance to expand your thinking Take it.~

Though his chosen modality of communicationI have the pleasureof truly getting to know Mark. Over time, I have observed mark flourish in ways only demonstrated through the power of expressed language. Without this experience , i would have missed the opportunity to fully appreciate his depth of insight, sense of humor, determination, and most of all his feisty ability to disagree and push the envelope to advance personal growth and to help others achieve the same.

Mark Reeves is a recurrent guest in my disability studies doctoral seminar Arcadia University. Mark is such a powerful communicator-the message and the way in which he delivers it makes even the most skeptical of my students, begin to critically look at their assumptions and preconceive notions of what is possible for people with disabilities when supports ans services are in place . I know that when mark comes, we will have an evening of enjoyment and deep thinking
