“Liam’s mother, Maria Lindgren, had really done it all. Already in preschool it was clear that Liam was not quite like other children. He had a hard time learning to everyday things and at the age of ten he was diagnosed with epilepsy, a chronic neurological diagnosis. There and then changed the family’s life. Everyday was filled with new routines, daily medication and growing concern. Liam was very tired and had mood swings, sometimes could he nothing else than playing computer games.”
“Then started the bullying.”
“the School noted that the parents”
“– We will work to pupils who need particular support should get it, the ones that need to go in smaller groups must have the chance. Parents should be able to trust that their children receive education and security they need, ” says Anna Ekström (S), the recently-appointed minister of education, to the Aftonbladet leader board.”
“When reading Mary’s own words in”
“Instead, suggested the staff that he would change school. “
“One student per school.”
“In January 2017 began to Liam, therefore, in a new class with new teachers and new classmates. It worked for a week, but then started all over again – the lack of support, bullying, distrust of school staff, and the standing meetings that did not lead anywhere. When the fall semester would start was Maria on sick leave at the full time, burned out after two years of struggle for their children.”
“last Thursday she told me her story at a hearing in the Swedish parliament on initiative of mp Alexandra Anstrell (M). And with the Agency’s director general, Peter Fredriksson looked quite taken out afterwards. The issue of so-called ”
“Today’s problems began with the new education act 2011. One of the ideas was that children with special needs would be included in the regular classes. At many schools interpreted it as specific actions that small teaching groups would be liquidated and that children with autism and ADHD simply would cope in classes with 20-30 students. It worked, of course not. The teachers did not have sufficient education, special education teachers were missing and the ones that got caught in the middle was the kids. This was never the idea with the reform, but, in retrospect, the policy has proved to be a failure.”
“– A villain in the drama is that children with special needs costs money, and that a policy where everyone goes in the same class is cheaper, ” says Anna Ekström, when I talk with her the day after the hearing.”
“According to the economist Ingvar Nilsson, who had counted on the Cold faktas basis is the price tag to society of between 20 and 30 billion, and then is not lost, life expectancy, suicide and broken families with in calculus.”

“– As I see it, not all students need to be in the same class. But we’re not going back to the old-time NOTE-classes without adapting teaching to the needs of the children. According to januariavtalet so resources can be directed precisely to the pupil welfare and children with special needs, ” says Anna Ekström.”
“So what do the government do to solve the problems of the here and now?”
“– A key solution is investing in more special needs teachers in the school and in the education of school leaders and teachers on neuropsychiatric disorders. If I get a dime extra to school so I’m going to put it on just training, ” says Anna Ekström.”
“the Same month that Mary was on sick leave at the full time got Liam the diagnosis of autism of child psychiatry, he also got the start on his third school. But finally he also started the cogs in society’s safety net to hook into each other. The family was assisted by the municipality’s närvaroteam and met for the first time a school management with knowledge of children with special needs. So began an arduous road tillbala to life. Today Liam in a small teaching group adapted to his needs, and Maria describes her son as altered, from a black-and-white TV picture to color again.”
“the Story of Liam is both typical and unusual. Thousands of children have fallen through the revorna in our safety net, many people have given up and drowned in hopelessness. Mary’s story about the school’s failure is just one of many. But Liam is surrounded by people who, despite all the adversity didn’t give up, it is not all of the children to them. American school must be better than this.”
