A mother is seeking a better school experience for her 7-year-old son, Ezra, who has autism. He struggles to communicate and sometimes lashes out when overwhelmed. With the help of behavioral therapists, his mother knows how to use de-escalation techniques to help him.

Ezra's mother, Deborah Gross, had hoped for extra support for her son in school. Instead, she received a visit from the police. Deborah Gross notes that Ezra is semi-verbal and that two-way communication is starting to emerge.

Further details about the situation and an investigation by 7's Courtney Allen are available from the source. Deborah Gross is hoping for a more positive school year for her son, who had done well in kindergarten but struggled in first grade.
