I believe that any child that has a desire or who has parents that want him/her to attend summer school should have the right to attend. If a school has to make special accomadations to accept a disabled child then so be it. Very often disabled children are placed on a back burner. This is doing a diservice to the child, the family and to the public at large. If a disabled child can be taught to take care of themselves and to be a productive citizen it saves a community money in the long run.
