I really hate the fact they call it "disabled". He isn't truly disabled, he has a speech delay (but is probably almost caught up). When he was 9 months old he fell and lost 4 bottom teeth, at 3 we were thinking that was affecting him. So we had him evaluated by the school district and he was eligible for special services.
Only one child in Alan's class truly looks "disabled" - there is a girl who has a face which makes her look mentally challenged - and she does have trouble walking - they brought a stroller for her on the class trip. I think all of the other students are boys and I suspect a lot of them have speech delays.
