Bianca Davila knew early on that her youngest child, Jordan Castillo, had special needs.
Jordan was not hitting his developmental milestones and was having behavioral issues that prompted their pediatrician to refer him to the Center for Healthcare Services.
There, Davila met families who recommended IDEA Public Schools, a fast-growing charter network that boasted a nearly 100 percent graduation rate. No problem that Jordan needed special education services. IDEA could help him, Davila was told.
She enrolled Jordan in IDEA Eastside for kindergarten. But for the next three years, she said, she had to fight all the way to the network’s highest levels to get Jordan tested for special needs. He received a diagnosis toward the end of second grade, she believes, only because she had emailed and called IDEA leaders at their headquarters.
