Thank you Haley for bringing your story forward. Agencies are contracted and funded by the DOE and are told not to communicate with parents or anyone outside of their agency. There should be more protection for those who come forward with information that protects and advocates for our children, as many have no physical voice. As another reader wrote, there should also be an independent & confidential investigation process. I think you have opened the public's eyes to the fact that the DOE needs to put more support, funding and training into it's SPED program. Wish there were more people like you in this world. Mahalo!
