After reading blogs of parents of special needs children it always seems to blow my mind how many children with ASD have all these great and wonderful educational programs available for them where they live. Some of us are not as lucky. NOTHING like that was here when my son was little. He's the one that paved the way for all ASD kids in this county. It could have been so much easier for him and he could have been a much happier child going to school if there were ASD programs and trained personnel available then. Things are different here now and I'm glad that others in our area are benefiting from our plowing through our school system. We did make a fuss at times and a few mistakes along the way when dealing with the school so our son could receive the best possible education available. But we persevered and our son is doing well in school. Needless to say, I don't think the school system will ever forget us either. :)
Did you brave the final frontier where no man has gone before in your county/district? Or did someone else do it before you?
