Kind of sad in a way, these days (postADA) a Student who uses a wheelchair that can communicate easily with others, such as Wes, would be attending a regular classroom with some adjustments done instead of being educated separately in an Special Ed Classroom. Even a kid with dyslexia or dyskalculia could request up to a certain level a regular class to be adjusted. Some exceptions of course, private and even some charter schools (depends on the School and the State rules) can simply choose to not enroll a disabled Student. Again these days they don’t do it directly but look for some way to “filter” kids when choosing who is accepted or not.

Never find out if you don’t ask, I guess.

Yeah Kevin, I’m afraid that’s out of the question.
