  • I am extremely upset with the way a child who has a learning disability is allowed to slip through the cracks. This year was my son's eighth grade year. We got a lot of NEW staff on board for the 504 and such. Needless to say, I met a teacher of his out in public today. We began speaking about my son's struggles. She was NEVER informed about his 504! Not a very happy mother. Never will I refer anybody to Handy if their child struggles with a disability, or struggles with school period, NEVER.
