I just heard on the news tonight that the medical profession is making HUGE strides in following what happens in the brain when it comes to autism. This is a breakthrough because they can begin helping children at a much younger age in their development and eventually drugs. This is great. The next logical step, I would think, would be to bring that knowledge into the special school systems so they can apply this information accordingly.
I wonder how many parents out there are not aware their child may be affected and considered a "special needs." People are too afraid of their children having these labels. They aren't bad labels...they simply are facts of what your child has and may need to learn a different way. Thank goodness the medical profession is finally realizing this. I believe some of our smartest, most creative artists, poets, business men have what we consider "special needs." Wonder where they would be placed in schools today?
