I don't know that they treat them all the same, but they're overprotective of a lot of them just because they're labeled with things like Autism.

I was just texting my friend with the autistic son and she said there are times where the plans are on point, and other times where they're too difficult or too hard, which goes back to the point about me saying that they're lumped in and overprotective.

He wasn't and I'm not saying he would have been, but he even said that teachers are that way to a lot of kids and seemed disgusted by it, either because they have no choice or because they're not trained properly.

And I am not talking about one random child who did a task for you.  I am talking about ALL children with disabilities.  That is the claim you made, so back it up with some specifics.

I'm not saying they're all banned from doing certain things, so that's not a claim I made, which is just another load of bullshit you throw out.

I am saying that a child might be labeled with something like autism and automatically treated differently because of that label.

My friend's son is prove and she also worked with kids with special needs and said that it happens often.  She said that often times

So how much time do they put into 504 plans of children with special needs?
