This is a place to talk about autism and the impact that it has on our lives. I am mostly interested in making legislative changes to enchance the education of our children.

I saw this story on television when I was at the land. It was a very moving story and I like how the father stood up and made his son watch the video and apologize. It is amazing to me that a father can do that with his son, but a Superintendent will not do that with his employees.

Special ed demands go unmet | The Columbia Daily Tribune - Columbia, Missouri
Special ed demands go unmet | The Columbia Daily Tribune - Columbia, Missouri
The Tribune's View of June 15 suggests that if there were a problem with the smaller number of students receiving special education services in Columbia during the past five years, there would be an outcry. If that opinion were not so naive and tragic, I would laugh. Consider this an outcry! As an attorney who has represented hundreds of disabled children in special education situations over the past 22 years, I know a tremendous unmet need exists for these services in Columbia and most other school districts.

We are parents of children with special needs. Because of our children's disabilities, they have not been allowed to attend the elementary schools they should be attending. Instead, they have been seperated from their peers and placed in trailers at the Jr. High campus. We have made this video to share our frustrations, hoping that we could find some heroes that are willing to stand with us to help fix this situation.
