[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I have a friend who had a child with some brain damage. She clearly needed some kind of extra help in school. She had to push for an autism diagnosis to get something. I don't begrudge her for trying to get something for her child. But, it is gaming the system to try to get services that wasn't meant for the child. Yes, it sucks that schools may not be able to provide services for other needs. [/quote] Wait, are you saying there is no help or support in public school for a child with "some brain damage" unless they essentially fake an autism diagnosis? That just doesn't sound right. [/quote] Sorry, wasn't clear. The brain damage diagnosis wasn't obvious. It took a few years to figure it out. In the meantime, she had to get some diagnosis to get him some services. They are not from around here.[/quote]
