Overview

Often children with mental or neurological disabilities are forgotten about in our society. Most people think disability they think of a wheelchair. But what if I told you kids even in wheelchairs go through the same kind of abuse I am going to tell you of? That they too have been duct taped in chairs and tied to tables and screamed at, lifted up out of their chairs and left on the floor of concrete closets to lay in their own feces and urination? What if I said teachers were responsible? You would feel horrible I am guessing. But why not have the same feelings when a child with a mental illness and or neurological disability goes through the same treatment on a daily basis?
