When Dr. Whitney Meade was 17 years old, her high school sociology teacher took the class to tour the King's Daughters' School, a residential facility for individuals with developmental disabilities.

But even though Dr. Meade was already planning to go to college - and would eventually earn a Ph.D. in the field of education ­- the moment changed her life forever.
