The Marin Community Foundation recognized Crosby’s 36 years at Dominican with an achievement award and $10,000.
Crosby said that when she came to Dominican in 1972, few elementary students with physical or mental disabilities were permitted to attend classes with their peers; some school districts would not accept students with disabilities at all.
