My son, Hanzel was less than 2 years old when he was diagonosed with autism. He had delayed language and absence of eye contact. From pre-k to grade 7, our school district sent Hanzel to BOCES.

can become anything we want, and that we are the upcoming leaders of society. However, if this is true, why is there such a lack of early childhood education in South Carolina?

The first article I read was "Early Childhood Special Music Education" by Alice-Ann Darrow. The article talked about Part C of IDEA, explained its importance, and who runs it.

Music helps kids with disabilities learn to move and helps to…

My first three semesters of college out of high school went disastrously…

How did these changes contribute to the different roles of schools discussed in this chapter?

In such a small class, the teacher can really get to know each and every one of their students, and the school was already like a family. Her influence gave me an early appreciation for learning. I enjoyed school each day, and that has carried…
