| With so much uncertainty about the school year, parents of kids with disabilities have special concerns. Whether students are heading back into the classroom, homeschooling, or cyber-school, parents said say they are stressed. “We’re the parents, and we know our children the best, but at the same time we’re not professionals, we’re not teachers, we’re not therapists, and a lot of parents are working, and they’re taking care of multiple children, or elderly parents, all different aspects and they need to have time to plan and make arrangements as well so all this is really hanging over the heads of families right now.” Roseann Polishan is a mom of three from Scranton and a child advocate. Her teenage son has learning disabilities and autism. “It was a big struggle for him back in the spring. He is someone who needs someone with him and prompting him and helping him pretty much every aspect of his life, so it’s a big concern to figure out how he can have his education.” |
