Private School Denied Special Chairs

About this episode

A court case involving a teen with ADHD and autism challenges a private school's denial of special electric chairs.

A teen with ADHD and autism is in court after his private school denied him special electric chairs—recommended by an occupational therapist to help with posture and focus—because the funding program only covers free schools. The school was told to pay out of pocket, but his legal team argues this violates his rights and ignores existing government support for private schools. The case is now on hold until July 14th, sparking a national debate on equity and access for students with special needs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
