Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish every special ed administrator, evaluator, and teacher could hear accounts like this from families, periodically, to remind them that there are real, lasting impacts, not only academic, but emotional as well, when children's needs are not acknowledged or addressed.
We have been very blessed with our children's school experience (partly because we didn't leave it in the hands of the public schools--a direct outgrowth of my employment in the same), but I know not to take that for granted.
