"It was so wonderful having Gregory Allen visit our school! The children loved hearing Irving the Theater Nut! and discussing how they were inspired to follow their dreams. Mr. Allen had such an engaging personality and really took the time to speak to any student who had a question. It was such a great experience for the students to understand why it is important to follow their dreams and never give up. They really took to heart the message that Irving shared!"
Danielle Jacob: North End School Cedar Grove, New Jersey
"It was a pleasure having Gregory Allen come to my school and help us kickoff Autism Awareness Month at a school assembly. He spoke to the students about the importance of valuing our differences, his personal experience with autism, and his wonderful book Chicken Boy: The Amazing Adventures of a Super Hero with Autism. The students and staff enjoyed this visit very much. Gregory Allen's message in his book is something that is important for both children and adults to practice on a day to day basis. Thank you, Greg, for taking the time in helping us here at Memorial Middle School make a difference for those with autism."
