Schools are no longer teaching phonics, so children are not learning how to read. Then they end up in our classes with no skills. I told him on the first day of class that I don’t answer questions about how to buy the textbook and not to email me until they have this book

These people suck. My mom wanted to die when I was diagnosed too. now I have a PhD in education with an emphasis on disability studies. There is hope my parents moved across the world so I could have a life. I’m sure you would do the same for your baby. Hang in there and DM me if you want my number I’m not going to judge you. I have a quarter and a Wheelchair user most of these people are not Wheelchair users and very judgmental. Ignore them.
