I told her that I look upon it as a limitation to be gotten around instead of a limitation to be given into. Lisa agreed and said that early detection of any condition and early treatment is crucial. Younger children in many instances are more easy to teach, mold and grasp the concepts they need to learn more eagerly.

There are many cases where a child can be mainstreamed, however there can be a downside to trying to completely mainstream every child.
Every parent wants their child to live up to their utmost potential.
Lisa's philosophy is to challenge that child to live up to their ultimate potential and if that includes special classes, that's okay. No one wants to see their child fall through the cracks. Lisa cautions that this is not a quick fix. It is small steps made over a long process. They have manuals and videos available to order.
