My grandson has severe addhd and a leraning disability and we have been very open and doing everything to help him and I have a letter from the physician stating this handicap. Today the counselor informed us that he is not addhd and I am very angry with the way my grandson is being treated. I know the laws and He needs special help and smaller classes. This school can't give the chidl what he needs then they need to send him to a schoolin the district that can provide him. They have known this since early in the year and have done nothing. We will take what ever the law reguires to make sure my grandson gets what he needs. I reccommend that the counselor think before she speaks. Also we are notifying the board of these issues.
