I am listening to my podcast from July 17 and wanted to give some input to the mom who called about her 3-year-old daughter with Cerebral Palsy.  I am a special education teacher and her child is eligible to attend public school from age 3-21 under the Federal mandate PL 94-142 and IDEA. She would be under the care of highly trained and caring teachers. The mom may want to research what her local county Educational Service Department (ESD) and/or public school can offer her now or the near future. 

I've been a loyal listener for 17 years, and a stay-at-home mom while my kids were young, and part-time worker when they went to school. I went back to teaching 1/2 time after a 16 year hiatus to raise my girls. Thank you for all you do!
