Raised in New Mexico in the 50's & 60's. Worked with public school programs for students with disabilities for 30+ years, mostly as a director of special education. Worked for 2 years at a small residential state school for individuals with mental retardation. Now working with a state project that provides training and information for parents of children with disabilities.
I was on the board of the state association for directors of special education. I also volunteered with ARC of Texas, the Special Olympics program at various levels.
There is lots I do not know, but I do have experience and contacts.
More than 1 in 7 American children have a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder, according to the CDC, but prevalence is far from steady across the country. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2016/03/14/cdc-disability-prevalence/22034/
