Advocating for your child

CeeKay who blogs at My Two Cents has the next post in the series Learning Disability Awareness month

She says "A child with learning disabilities needs an advocate more than anyone else. Teachers and caretakers would just as easily recommend the child be pumped full of drugs to make him/her more manageable instead of putting in time and effort to manage his behavior. I am sorry for this harsh judgment because I know there are still many dedicated teachers and caretakers out there who wouldn't take this route. But it is because of those who take the easy way out instead of working with the child that I have formed this opinion"

She also references articles and puts an emphasis on being assertive to advocate for your child
