Schools are strapped for cash and tend to fight giving out needed services. Don’t blindly go along with whatever they say. Sometimes they try to short-change you while claiming they know what is best. Fight for your kids.

Students with the need to chew things constantly should make chewing gum a part of their IEP or program even if it is usually disallowed. This will reduce chewed pencils, shirt collars, etc.
