The Philadelphia Inquirer

One preschooler with autism and ADHD was excluded from a Philadelphia early childhood program two hours after her parents dropped her off for her first day because the school did not have adequate supports, according to a new report from the Education Law Center-PA. Another was told he was “no longer a good fit” shortly after starting a program where directors had said they would have no trouble working with the boy, who has autism. He was 2. At another school, a young boy with autism was not fed if certain staff were not present.
