Childhood Lost

Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).

Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.

Loss of Brain Trust features over 9,000 news stories published worldwide since January, 2017

What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country.

It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.
They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA– Merakey opened a new education center in Hampden Township, Cumberland County to help children with special needs.

The center partners with families, school districts, and communities to provide safe and fun learning environments for children and young adults who have autism, and other special needs.

Rebecca Mann, Senior Vice President of Merakey said, “It’s rewarding to be a part of a team that’s working to support children who have different needs and different environments but we are excited to be here because the people that work with these children are really putting their heart and soul into making a difference so that the kids can thrive back in their community.”

Right now, 20 students are enrolled, and there is still space for more.
