My biggest beef is this: (May be wordy LOL)
Ok.....are there no schools for the intellectually disabled in JAX? There HAS to be. As big as JAX is I assume there are several. Why did they only focus on autism? Instead of putting her in public school and hoping for JSA someday, why didnt they put her in a school where she could have began learning at age 5, instead of 10? (she started JSA for "5th" grade and was 10) It makes no damn sense to me.
I can even give them a bit of sympathy for the early years. They were broke. They had Isaiah. They were waiting for services they probably couldnt afford out of pocket, and they are not educators or therapists. I get that. But they seem to have ALWAYS wanted to downplay the ID, and look where she is now. How old, how many years of work does it take for her to know not to cram her hands into food? Pull up her pants after toileting, or leave her clothing on? They've been brushing her hair and teeth everyday. We see it. How much more regular can something be? Think of our own kids- was it a struggle having our toddlers pull their pants up? No...they did it a few times and that was it. We werent running after them years later pulling their pants up or redressing them.
Thats just one example but to me its a big one. I think they did her a great disservice by not dealing with the ID first, and perhaps that window of learning is gone forever.
