Description
"When his teachers decided Jonathan Mooney needed special ed because he couldn't follow directions, sit still, or read well out loud, he feared he'd lost his chance to be a regular kid. Suddenly he was "not normal." Suddenly he was a short bus rider destined to travel a harder road, a distinction that screamed out his "difference" to a hostile world. Along with other kids facing similar challenges, he was denigrated daily. He almost lost hope.
