We have a child with severe OCD/ASD in 6th grade. She has spent the year being assaulted, bullied, victimized, threatened, and alienated by her school mates. Assault incident ignored by school. She has been recommended by her doctors to get her into a fully inclusive theraputic education, more restrictive to deal with emotional, behavior, social disorders. We found such a school but the Petaluma School District has ignored our plea to seek help for our daughter at such a critical time. Anova is such a school and is willing to take her this fall. Other children from Petaluma attend Anova with the exact same disorders. She is a perfect candidate. We are advocating for our 11 year old who is haunted daily with uncontrolable mental/physical behaviors. She is now afraid to go to school and wants out. I want my voice heard for these under diagnosed, under recognized, under treated children. I want my child protected. I hope if I bring this issue to the forefront, the school district will take us seriously and send my daughter to this perfect placement. I have raised 4 children, we are a middle class family paying our taxes, defaulting on nothing! Responsible and accountable parents. But this last child of mine needs the "system" to help. I will not stop nor wait until it is too late and my daughter again gets assaulted...how can you help this family...? please!
