My son was diagnosed with turrets syndrome and ADHD .... He was tagged as a bad seed from pre school though elementary school. We fought the system every step of the way and finally got a diagnoses. We got the PA turrets syndrome advocates involved as well as some of the finest attorneys in the Northeast. The school wanted to ship him off to IU13 a special education school for defiant and less than academically stellar students. Me and my wife at the time would not accept this and fought the good fight down to our last bit of savings. we won after a bitter 4 year battle with the district and finally got him the academic support he needed so badly to succeed.
Today Cory is in twelfth grade he is taking all college courses that will earn credits for farthing his education. He is in the top twenty in his school of 1600 seniors. He has some of the finest universities pursuing him and wants’ to be a chemical engineer.
The front runner as of now will be Laffette with a close second going to Lehigh Valley with Amerada’s such as the dude who engineered the Golden Gate Bridge and Lee Iacocca ... LOL
Moral being the system wanted to write him off, but many kids with disabilities are actually brilliant
O yea he can take me down in five minutes on a chess board and is first board on his HS team
Please Mr. Scott and all parents out there do not take no for an answer ….. We got the, you make too much money line too, Read and understand the laws, it is your rights that they try to hide….
They are there buried in the text, finding them is challenging to say the least.
Sorry to OP .... putting these kids on drugs is no joke, it is tragic
