I volunteered to help at a special needs talent show in Berea.  I truly love every single participant; they are the best bunch.  I heard a lot of parents complain about testing, IEP, and the education system.  Having a sister who has autism myself I can relate.  As educators, you want the best for your student.  But there is also a lot of school policies that can prohibit education, and there are policies that are necessary and positive.  It gives me a lot to think about; what needs to be done to effectively help the student?
