OP,

I posted before about my child with significant ADHD who receives 12 hours a week of support.

I forgot to mention that we are a multicultural, bilingual family. My son goes to a weekend school to learn how to write in his native language (involves a lot of grammar, which he hates and has difficulty with) - he already knows how to speak and read it. These things did not come easily to him.[b] We were nearly refused services from Infants and Toddlers in MoCo because his delays were thought to stem from his bilingualism and not from developmental issues[/b] - later on they backtracked, but not before we had lost what I thought was valuable early intervention time. I am particularly aware that [b]teachers and special educators here will constantly trot out the anti-bilingual argument, saying it's too much, blah blah blah. Rubbish.[/b] [i]Your child will have to work harder, certainly, but research has shown that learning a second language develops young brains and makes children more adaptable. The goal is long-term brain flexibility, and even a child with ADHD can reach it.[/i]

This happens and it perturbs me that when convenient long dispelled myths can be given new life to justify--or rather not--educational accommodations.[/quote]
