Her son who has autism was stuffed in a duffel bag by a teacher. Thursday, that mom will head to the school board meeting armed with a petition. Sandra Baker says that petition has nearly 170,000 signatures on it. It calls on the board in Mercer County to discipline the teachers involved and to institute a training program for teachers dealing with special needs children.
I am writing a book about autism policy and politics in the United States. My aim is to write a scholarly and impartial treatment, without pushing a particular point of view. This blog contains information relevant to this project. If you have suggestions or comments, please get in touch with me at jpitney@cmc.edu
