Kids with special needs are not receiving appropriate services

Vital services provided by contractors are repeatedly denied by Broward County Public Schools. BCBAs, who are trained in behavior modification and certified in crisis management, have been repeatedly denied access to their clients in classrooms or allotted insufficient time such as 1 hour per day to address issues as severe as physical aggression and self injury. The typical treatment recommendations for addressing severe behaviors such as these is about 30 hours per week. See the recent article below about the teacher that was hospitalized after a 5 year old attacked her. Incidents like this are preventable.
