When my son attended this school he was bullied, he was scared and confused. They called me constantly to pick him up and sent his work to be completed at home. Told me he didn’t qualify for services because his academics were good. He did have speech for a certain period of time but failed to pick up signs of Autism and ADHD. They also did not fill out evaluation papers his pediatrician sent for autism and adhd. It was sent to 3 teachers and none made it back to his pediatrician so he was unable to receive needed services . I pulled him out of school. He was referred to a doctor for an evaluation, the pandemic happened and it took us another 2 years to get his evaluation . This could have been solved years prior if anyone had done anything needed. He is now on the Junior Honor Society , has been an honor roll student, and receives occupation therapy to help with handwriting which he struggles with due to poor muscle tone. At Johnson he was admonished for telling him teacher it hurt to write. This was due to his conditions. My son could have had earlier intervention but was instead labeled as unique, having a colorful personality, lazy, forgetful…. Now with behavioral therapy , occupational and speech therapy, an autism specialist, and me performing as a one on one for his virtual school he is thriving
