Big Wins: Corey has a heart of gold. His classmates adore him, with one student describing him as a ‘beloved and handsome man.’ He has an incredible sense of humor where he likes to jump out and ‘scare’ the adults in the building. Rebecca Compardo, BCBA, MA, Director, New Story Schools Indiana, described Corey as a role model for other students, especially those who are younger.
He’s reached the Natural stage, which provides him with more opportunities like participating in the student council, planning and running activities for other students like the school’s recent carnival, and serving as a leader in the school.
