Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related

You are right. I did fieldwork in a rich school which was very white. They had technicians just to sit with their DD population (behavioral or no) while they out placed every.single.one. Then I worked in a poor city school for a couple of years. Where many kids are multi-lingual. Lots of poverty. The behavior problems there were not outpaced. They were remediated as possible, but there were so, so many concentrated into that with limited resources. By the way, outpacing is hella expensive. So the poor kids grow up seeing their peers with conduct disorders or developmental disabilities. The system in those districts is much more strained, they fight against placements because it limits what resources they do have, therefore the large behavioral population has less to work with AND systemic hurdles by admin. So they stay in general education as long as they can, fall behind, engage in increased and varied maladaptive behavior…because they need services from the get go and basically it’s like “there’s a line and we still might say no even though every single person in this line needs help.” A real case of haves and have-nots.
