Dear Cindy,

My heart broke when I read the story of your family and your daughter. Please consider what McG of H has suggested: You need press on this. Have you tried Oprah Winfrey? She is a great lady and this is 'right up her alley'.

(Also, I have fought for years to get the designation "mentally retarded" removed from every and any assessment document to do with one of my daughters. In every school for which I have taught, it was called "Special Education" when I arrived and "Special Needs Education" by the time I left. Get the 'retarded' re-labelled. Call it what it is--find another name for Jessica's condition.)
