[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 485788, member: 11791"] MWM - I do not believe that it was better 30 years ago for ALL situations. The ones I'm most familiar with... are ADHD/ADD, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). For Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - the school situation was definitely a major advantage 30 years ago. For ADHD - IF you had a good school/teacher where they understood the need to burn off steam... it was a partial advantage. For Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) - back then, they knew how to teach handwriting at the physical level, which helps if you have a moderate fine motor skill problem. If the motor skills problems are severe, there was no technology - no scribe, either. And the gross motor skills issues were just ignored. Mental health issues? we're probably as bad now as we were then... more aware, but not necessarily accomplishing much more. [/QUOTE]
