My oldest daughter was a ‘special needs’ child, and I had the right to place her in a ‘special needs school’ for her to learn the basics of reading, spelling, communicating, and functioning...she later went into public school and graduated with her younger brother in a regular High School in 1984...
I didn’t have to worry about anyone telling me what to do or when or how...and if they would have, I would have went to every television station and radio station and newspaper investigative reporter and brought them down in shame!!!
You are a wonderful mother. Unfortunately I see many on this thread who truly lack compassion and are so short sighted. I can only pray that they learn how wrong they are.
