We as parents need to unite to get our special education children the help they need, whether its in education or mental health.
Lets all put are hands and hearts together to make changes
for our children
Parents in Jefferson County, I tried to put together a special education parents group. I found out you as parents don't want to take the time to help your children get the education they need. You could not be bothered to come to a meeting. I really feel sorry for all the children here in Jefferson county that parents don't want to find the time to help their children.
This group was for parents of children with Learning Disabilities, Emotional Disabilities, FAS, Behavior Problems all types.
IS YOUR CHILD
1. getting in a lot of trouble at school.
2. Is he/she in special education.
3. Do you want to see changes made.
4. In the mental health system
5. Not in Special Education but should be.
