Addressing the Special Needs of Really Challenging Children

School districts around the Denver Metro area have 100s of psychologists, counselors, and special needs therapists to work on children. One of the most significant developments of modern educational theory is the invention of “Special Needs” slots. Since then, they have transferred tens of thousands of children into these slots.

It is true that some children can be extraordinarily challenging either academically, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. In fact some children can be orders of magnitude more difficult than other children.
