Mom Demands a Voice in Daughter's Education

TAMPA -- For months, Veleria Fabiszak has pleaded with the Hillsborough County School Board to help her daughter, Chelsea.
The 20-year-old high school student has Rett syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes seizures and developmental delays.
Sometimes, Fabiszak shares a heart-wrenching story about how Chelsea's disease has stolen her ability to walk and talk, but not her desire to learn. Lately, the discussion has dissolved into a showdown between Fabiszak and district administrators.
