  ~ Jennifer asks: I'm looking for advice. My 11 year old son with Down syndrome is hearing impaired & speaks with sign language. He also uses an iPad for communication. Currently, his public school does NOT have a sign language certified Instructer or anyone who is competent in sign. And they do NOT have anyone iPad knowledgable either so, no one their knows how to communicate with him effectively. We're filing with the department of education on Friday and were suing them for an out of district placement. We've had many other issues with the district over the last few years. Suing is our last resort,but very necessary. My question is this, I'm considering suing for discrimination as well. Why is every other child allowed to communicate in school and he is not? Isn't this a violation of his rights?? I need a different attorney for this as well. Any advice or help would be so helpful. We live in Massachusetts. Thank You
