A DNR is often more moral than resuscitation at any cost.

I agree with you.But this kid belongs in hospice or a in hospital, other children should not forced to participate in this.
No one has the right to traumatize other peoples kids

I would hazard a guess based on the picture above and the fact that this is a ‘special school’ she is not the only one in a critical or delicate physical condition

Mary Sowers, Principal

Laremont School serves students exhibiting severe to profound mental impairment and/or multiple disabilities. Laremont presents an educational option for students with acute medical needs, requiring extensive support services, best delivered at a centralized site. Feeding, personal care and positioning these students are very labor-intensive activities, which occur daily at Laremont. A comprehensive program of physical, occupational, and speech and language therapy as well as nursing services and concentrated supervision and care are cornerstones of the total Laremont program.

The school's curriculum emphasizes the teaching of functional skills, with particular emphasis placed upon communication, activities of daily living (ADL’s), recreation/leisure skills and vocational skills.

Whenever feasible, instruction is delivered in "natural" settings, including frequent excursions into the community.

Therapy and instructional goals are developed in a collaborative effort, by each student's team, led by the classroom teacher. Therapy services are provided in an integrated manner, with specific enabling activities incorporated into the classroom routine.

Laremont School encourages the community and parents to participate in the provision of quality educational services, by becoming involved with parent support groups, the Parent-Teacher Federation (PTF), or by attending the many informational programs offered throughout the school year.

Laremont’s mission, as with all of the Special Education District of Lake County, is to provide “Exceptional Service for Exceptional Students”.

I agree. I didn’t see that initially, but after softballmominva said it, I realized she was correct.
