That is quite possibly the most offensive thing I have read in a quite some time. I am so sorry you were the recipient of that.
I would like to share a story with you. I took a week long advocacy class that was moderated by a parent who spent her entire life advocating for her son who has Downs Syndrome to ensure he was included in his school and received the supports he needed to do so. Well that young man is taking classes at a community college this year and is doing amazingly well. Mom really kicked ass year after year, battled SpEd director after SpEd director, to get her son the services he needs and deserves, and the results of that brings tears to my eyes.
You fight for your little guy. The rewards in doing so are immeasurable.
It takes all types.
If VxH is so concerned about money he should open his eyes. When these special needs children receive early intervention and work very very hard to keep up with their peers they save our state an average of $45,000 per year when they are adults. This is from our college program called STRIVU. But what the hell do I know, I only deal with this every minute of the day.
