Lorenzo's Oil1992

School Therapist:
He does present as a Hyperactive.

Michaela Odone:
But Hyperactives repeat tasks endlessly, don't they?

School Therapist:
They perseverate, yes.

Michaela Odone:
Lorenzo's activities all have a shape and structure: beginning, middle and end.

Augusto Odone:
My Gosh, he's learned three languages. How can he be Hyperactive?

School Therapist:
I know it's hard to accept that a gifted child may also be disturbed.

Principal:
I think that Lorenzo needs to be referred to our IDP committee.

Michaela Odone:
What's that?

Augusto Odone:
For what?

Principal:
Individual Disablity Placement. Lorenzo needs to be in a special ed. class.

Michaela Odone:
Any special ed. our son needs will be provided at home.
