Parents "know".. especially Mothers

but as a parent of a special ed child (who's in his second year of college and has plenty of friends) what do you do when the parent dismiss this issue? When they think sure, they are different but they will outgrow it OR you don't know what works best for my child because you don't know them.

You're talking about one of the hardest issues a parent has to face and you're strangers to them. You have to have a parent who is not in denial work with you first. If they won't see what you see, then do you have a second step ? Do you allow a parent to take their child out of school to home school them and you're off the hook until 15 years later when this same child appears in the crime section of a newspaper ? This is where we have to do something, we have to figure out a way to get between parent protection bond but not destroy it.

There were schools for Adam, private schools that cost over 50 thousand a year. With all types of medical and academic attention, so why didn't the parent's try? They, unlike most could afford these schools but I haven't, yet heard of word about specialized care for him when he was young. Was it a us vs them thing?

So many questions on this child upbringing but lets all learn something from this.
