Today was my son’s #FirstDayOfSchool Instead of the public school down the street I drove him 40 minutes to a private school for children with disabilities. With a ratio of 30:2 (30 four year olds!) with NO supports public education is out of the question. #CutsHurtKids 
The past week has been hard. On Thursday I spoke with the public school and told them that no, my son would not be attending the school with the rest of his community. Today I drove in the opposite direction of the children that would have been in my sons class
I do not feel he could be safely supported with only 2 adults for the entire class. He has ASD, PICA, is non-verbal, is not toilet trained and a flight risk. There are two other high needs kids in his class, 27 other NT kids and no EA. #CutsHurtKids
@Sflecce would YOU feel safe sending your child into that situation? Thanks to your friend @ToddSmithPC my son continues to languish on a list to get support outside of the classroom as well; further making him unable to safely attend #autismdoesntendatford
@FordNation can say he’s invested more into #Education and the Autism Program but my son is impacted by the #Truth Today was emotionally hard and I know there will be many more hard days I just wish my government was actively trying to end harmful policy #ForThePeople #onpoli
