@ADDcrafter @ChildrensColo They *can* *sometimes* provide great care. They can also provide CRAP care that results in long lasting trauma that medical environments and personnel trigger. If your child has complex challenges, take them elsewhere.
@WalshFreedom Where does the right of freedom of speech end? IMO, there is an easily bright line here. You are a business accessing the legal protections businesses receive--no discrimination. Private individuals (aka sole proprietorships) can discriminate however much they want.
@alittleleader@crisistalker I was forced to do this in legal research and writing. It was an active First Amendment issue, my position considered unwinable. Supreme Court ultimately decided in favor of the position my side took. Part of what soured me on the practice of law.
@HowtoADHD Ultimately, I think it needs to be a collaboration b/t parent and child. It is important for child to understand they have a say in their body.
@HowtoADHD We waited on meds until dd was having a rough time (academically, socially)in 5th. Tried meds then(our decision). Into 6th, she decided she didn't like them, so stopped w/our agreement. End of MS she was struggling again, we encouraged her to consider (w/ dr) other meds to help.
@MiddleReading This is an educational emergency. Child should get ESY services to address this issue. Does NOT have to wait until new school year. Ask, "Can you show me the policy that states she can not be evaluated until next school year?"
@MiddleReading Everything written.WRITE the school prin and sped cc:district & request an IEP Eligibility Assessment under Child Find based on the fact that an 8th grader cannot read (starts a 10day clock despite date). State all times previously requested.If no, then get PWN and demand IEE.
@ryanmckeen When I took it in the 90s, it was all essay. We literally wrote answers to please the person who wrote the question. In the early 00s, I saw the grader sheets were bullet points. So I gave the grader list of bullet points to match. Absolutely nothing to do with being a lawyer.
@HowtoADHD If you have someone trustworthy-in what they say AND how they help you-ask for help. But remember that relationships are 2-way streets, and put in some non-asking time as well. I am always happy to help other neurodivergent people, but I need the non-problem solving time as well.
@KyleClark What is also unprecedented is the number of these candidates assuming support and requesting donations via text message. A higher bar is definitely needed.
@WalshFreedom The law passed. The Court is not there to determine the "appropriateness" or "fairness" of the law. The Court is there to determine the Constitutionality of the law. When the Supreme Court starts legislating from the bench, the balance of powers breaks down.
@MayorHancock So, Mr. Mayor, how will the City be working with and supporting Denver Public Schools tomorrow to help students feel safe? @DrAlexMarrero It would be great to hear before morning.
