School
for Our Kids
School?! You want me to send my child where?! You mean my child has to be
exposed to a germ factory?
Yes, some of our children do go to school. In the US there is something
called IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). This assures that all
children have the right to attend school. Although that’s good in the most
part, some school districts interpret that to mean that all kids HAVE to go to
school. This can be very frustrating when caring for a child with such delicate
health. Many of the children with Hydranencephaly are home schooled or are
considered to be on a homebound program. Some, though do attend school in a
variety of settings.
