Flawless was awarded the 2009-2010 Excellence in Special Education Award from The National Association of Special Education Teachers’ (NASET). This is their highest organizational honor and is open to an organization, association or foundation that has made a commitment to educate and/or advocate for children with disabilities and their families.
NASET was thoroughly impressed with [Flawless'] vision of creating and supporting programs that accomplish the mission of “seeing, discovering, and nurturing the perfection in every child.” It is evident that the Flawless Foundation is very much “inspired from a place of gratitude and passion for children.” The work follows its dedication of being “creative, hands-on and proactive to enrich the lives of children who courageously face challenges of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders on a daily basis.” Finally, the Flawless Foundation’s commitment to “advocacy and eliminating the stigma around mental illness in children” is both inspiring and truly admirable.
