Because they're just not getting the funding.
And and then there's another whole
you know, can of worms in there whereas folks that need this type of school can't afford it.
So you have low income families, you have families from
uh impoverished environments, inner cities, rural environments that just don't have access to these resources.
And so who helps those children?
Mm-hmm.
And these are folks that can't afford to be home with their kids.
So where you know, where do they end up?
It's it becomes a bit of a vicious cycle.
So the onus once again falls on the school districts to be able to do some kind of accommodation.
And as I say and as I talk about in the book, it's it's really isn't
that difficult to make some accommodations.
And make a make the day a little bit more enjoyable for a twice exceptional child.
