  6. Laura – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    great infomation.

  7. Myrna – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Very interesting and informational. It really makes you think about what these kids and their families go through. However, as an educator, it is very to address so many different needs on top of all the ‘other’ stuff that is expected from us. We are only human, too… with our own mental issues and the stress of having to individualize for every single child is killing us. Just my opinion… there’s only so much we can do, but it helps to be aware of these things.

  8. Adriana – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
