Before the Madonna School
For Years, we dealt with suspensions and weekly calls from
the school about our son’s behavior. I felt like my husband and I were always
fighting to keep services that were supposed to be provided through the school
system, including basics to his education like appropriate tools and resources
to increase his language and fine motor skills. It was a battle that I honestly
could not fight anymore.
The time came when we had to decide whether to send
our child to a huge middle school where he would be segregated in one part of
the building all day or look at schools outside our school district.
I was
exhausted!
Then we had a respite provider last summer who connected us
with another family whose child attended the Madonna School.
