He was 20 years old but only reading on a first-grade level -- he could not read emails from his friends or understand menus at restaurants and was unable to write anything except his name. Despite years of failing to make academic progress, and having been identified as needing special education services for a language-based learning disability when he was in second grade, the New York City Department of Education (DOE) had completely failed to provide Josh with an appropriate education at every school he attended. In addition, the DOE had incorrectly told Josh\u2019s mother that their obligation to provide services ended when he turned 18; as a result, he had been out of school for two years. He had attempted to find vocational training on his own, but was unsuccessful in the programs he found due to his inability to read and write. When Josh\u2019s mother learned from another parent that he had the right to attend school until age 21, she attempted to find him a new school, but the DOE failed to provide an appropriate placement. The assistant principal at the only school offered by the DOE told Josh\u2019s mom that he was \u201cnot going to learn how to read in this school.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\nAFC te ent\u00e8veni epi li te f\u00e8 Josh yon evalyasyon, ki te etabli ke li te gen kapasite ak potansy\u00e8l pou li li nan yon nivo ki pi wo epi li te bezwen ratrapaj imedya. Nou te depoze yon odyans san patipri epi nou te reyisi jwenn enstriksyon lekti entansif, youn a youn pou li. Josh se te yon etidyan ki te motive anpil e ki te anvi ki te f\u00e8 gwo pwogr\u00e8 l\u00e8 li te resevwa sip\u00f2 ak enstriksyon espesyalize li te bezwen an. Apre mwens pase sis mwa, li te deja sote nan yon nivo lekti 4y\u00e8m\/5y\u00e8m ane. Pandan li te kontinye travay sou konpetans li lekti, li te k\u00f2manse etidye tou pou GED la. An 2013, Josh te f\u00e8 eksperyans yon dezavantaj twomatik l\u00e8 manman l, ki te pi gwo defans\u00e8 l, te mouri. Sepandan, li te plis det\u00e8mine pase tout tan pou jwenn dipl\u00f2m ekivalans lek\u00f2l segond\u00e8 li nan on\u00e8 li. AFC te f\u00e8 aranjman pou leson patikilye adisyon\u00e8l pou ede Josh prepare pou GED la, ansanm ak aranjman pou t\u00e8s yo. Novanm ki sot pase a, li te resevwa dipl\u00f2m li, yon reyalizasyon li menm ak manman l pa t ap janm reve ke li posib sa gen k\u00e8k ane! Josh se kounye a gade pou pi devan pou lavni an: li se yon mizisyen ki gen anpil talan e li ta renmen etidye biznis ak evanty\u00e8lman travay nan endistri mizik la.<\/span>","":null,"settings":""}}],"relationships":{"":null,"topic":[100,28],"misc_topics":[195,198]},"misc":{"disable_sticky_helpbar":false,"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}},"component_slide":{"":null,"image":5608,"custom_tag":"","kicker":"Josh's Story","title":"Josh se te yon etidyan ki te motive anpil e ki te anvi ki te f\u00e8 gwo pwogr\u00e8 l\u00e8 li te resevwa sip\u00f2 ak enstriksyon espesyalize li te bezwen an.
