If Mother Goose had to go to IEP meetings

The Special Education Law Blog, always good for providing a few laughs along with the serious business of forcing Child Study Teams to eat dirt, has an amusing item today on what would happen if familiar figures from nursery rhymes got their appropriate special-ed classifications and services. For example:

• The Tortoise will be given extra time accomodations when competing with the Hare in PE.
• Given Humpty Dumpty’s medical fragility, an emergency medical plan will be created.
• Little Red Riding Hood will develop community safety skills to avoid unsafe people and forest animals.

Back to business, there's also an interesting item on Wisconsin's decision to give vouchers or scholarships to allow children with autism to go to private school.
