I just got back from Bryce’s first Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting. In case you are not familiar, Bryce is my 3 year old son who has Down syndrome. This was our first foray into the special education maze of the public school system. I was actually quite impressed. For the last two years, Bryce [...]

Other comments I received mentioned how unfortunate it is that students have [...]
