Most neurodivergent people just want acceptance for who they are. Why does it seem as though we have to fight to obtain it?

What is Special Education?
Special education in America provides specialized instruction and support to over 7.5 million students with disabilities. It is legally governed by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which guarantees eligible children a free appropriate public education tailored to their needs through an Individualized Education Program (IEP)-US Department of Education

Missed Services Aren’t “Just How School Goes”

Yes — assemblies, testing, and field trips happen.

But IEP services don’t disappear because the schedule gets messy.

When services are regularly missed or shortened, the team should:
• Acknowledge it
• Document it
• Discuss how it’s being addressed

That’s not asking for extra.
That’s asking for what was already agreed to.

Missed minutes matter — because services are tied to progress.

Did you know that your child's posture can cause problems with their pencil grip? Which in turn makes writing a huge struggle. This kid never officially "crawled" for more than two weeks, he went from army crawling to walking. This creates problems because crawling helps build those core muscles and so much more. Years later, we noticed some weird pencil gripping issues along with other things so we went to our pediatrician and got a referral for OT services. He came up with the song all on his own but learned the flip from his OT!

If we don't have proper services we are going to have success.
