from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution..
Spalding High School student Jordan Smith wasn't going to be able to go through a graduation ceremony with his classmates.
Smith has autism and sensory issues with loud noises and crowds, and he constantly needs to move and walk, his teacher, Dana Jett, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Smith's family felt skipping the ceremony was in his best interest.
But Jett had a solution: "I brought the ceremony to him."
instead, Jett and others held a private ceremony outdoors for Smith's family and friends. A recording of the event made its way ono YouTube.
"I felt he was worthy of recognition," Jett said. "His family deserves to know we appreciate his accomplishments."
Everything fell into place. Jett wanted to surprise Jordan's mother, who is a teacher at the school. Even the weather, which was drizzling that morning, turned favorable for the event.
'We pulled it off," Jett said," with the help of the Lord."
