could use some help.

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki,

Jeanne here. I am the president of the Apraxia Network of Bergen

County here in NJ, and one of the Outreach Coordinators for Cherab.

and I work together on a these projects. I wanted to reiterate

from 's post to stop suggesting/letting the school board/county

know regarding how they are breaking the law in regards to your son. If you

bring up illigal things they will fix them , then you don't have that

evidence of what they did wrong. We have found if they agree that

what they did is wrong and say they'll fix it, it is a temporary band-aid. From

your letter you really want to make a difference for your child and

for others. Please do as asks, for now just keep a low profile and call us.

If a squeaky wheel constantly gets greased but not fixed, people will

never know that there is a problem even though you know that there

is. Numbers: 772-335-5135 or me at 201-741-4035
