I had very little usable vision. And instead of figuring out how to include me, they stuck me in a corner by myself and forgot about me. My mom had to pop into my classroom randomly to make sure they weren&rsquo;t doing it. Not once. Not twice. Regularly. She had to physically show up and check, because she couldn&rsquo;t trust the adults in that room to treat her blind child like a person.</p>
