Mentoring Kids WIth LD

If your child has expressive language delays or other learning disabilities, you know how alone they sometimes feel.

In response to that, Wesleyan University has stepped in with a unique mentoring program called Eye to Eye:
"Project Eye-To-Eye’s program model is designed to build life skills for independence and improve self-esteem through the power of role modeling."

Take a look at the video for more details, and tell me what you think: would you consider placing your child?

Watch this video, and tell me below in the comments what you think: would you have wanted a school like this as a teen?
