Hi ,

From your message about your e-mail being messed up...I wasn't sure

if you saw this. So I thought I would send it again.

You may want to ask which disability category would be in Bianca's

best interest. You might want to ask them to explain the advantages

and disadvantages of both categories in detail.

years ago. But, not with the support team I wished for. Then this

year we had that mold episode in her portable, and told them that if

they would listen to me and let me help I would not sue them. (in so

many words, not quit that bluntly) So they did. We have now had the

main school tested for both of my children, and it is clear of mold.

Then after 2 years of trying to get them to start a 504, out of the

blue they called me, asked me to come in as they were starting one

for her for this coming year. Now all we need is a letter from Dr. S,

stating she and her brother have these problems and they will start

her in their program for children with disabilities, but they are

going to use a different term for her. This will allow the school to

bring in outside tutors for her. They also put in her 504 that for

the remainder of her life in schools she needs to attend a mold free

is more relieved than any of us could ever be. When she heard what

had the blatant proof, right in their faces proof, that mold can

cause my children to become so sick that it disables them. They got

to see it first hand. Thank you again for you suggestion. I wish I

would have known about this group when all this first started, it

could have been a savior for us. But, atleast we have all of you

now, and you have us too.
