I would like to comment on your blog and...Hi Lisa, <br />I would like to comment on your blog and statement, "Their brains are wired differently from "neurotypical" individuals. This has created challenges for them to overcome so that they will "fit" in with society." My son also has neurological challenges that prevent him from complying with societies demands. Not only does he have fine motor, auditory and memory delays, his teachers, the "General Education rollers" think he is responsible for it. So now, a meeting with the "Special Education roller" is going to be scheduled to discuss the "threat" to have him removed from AP Chemistry next year because "He lacks the work ethic." I can't wait to replay the voice message from his teacher stating this at the meeting. The last time I checked, children who have disabilties are entitled to access to programs that their typically developing peers are entitled to. Joseph's original psychological evaluation completed by the school psychologist indicated that his "delays" will not interfere with his performance (duh it sure does.) His teacher's interpretation of his delays, "something's going on." I can't wait for a description of what this comment means at the meeting. To be continued. The Special Education roller.
