What's so depressing here is that there are a lot of very good EA's out there--but just as in the case of Wendy Portillo, the Florida teacher who let her kindergarten class vote out a classmate, it just takes one bad one to ruin the reputation of all.
I hope the family sues the school big time--and the government for failing to provide appropriately trained staff to teach and support her child.
Sadly, this kind of thing will keep happening until the government agrees to regulate all the professionals who work with autistic children. That's what we've been begging them to do for close to three years now.
Grrr...
