Almost 75% of parents of students with special needs say their kids are showing signs of regression during distance learning – from meltdowns to attempts to hurt themselves – according to a survey from the advocacy group Speak UP. Almost 60% of the 313 respondents to the online survey said that if Los Angeles Unified found a way to offer one-on-one special services in-person, they would choose to send their child back to campus.
