Fascinating article from NPR detailing a California class-action lawsuit. The suit explores the impact of significant childhood trauma (exposure to violence, homelessness, sexual abuse) on student's ability to learn and function in an educational environment and the obligation of school districts to provide accommodations for these students under Federal Law. http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/08/20/432885473/are-traumatized-students-disabled-a-debate-straight-outta-compton?utm_campaign=storyshare&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social Leon Smith, Esq.
