When Sonia Hernandez explained the Los Angeles teachers’ strike to her 10-year-old son, who has autism, he almost started to cry.
“I don’t want the teachers to miss school,” Daniel told her. “I don’t want to go to another class. I want to be in the same classroom with my same classmates.”
The disruption triggered by the strike that began Monday in the nation’s second-largest school district could set back Daniel and thousands of other children with developmental disabilities who need special education and consistency, parents told USA TODAY.
