Lucinda is married to Dustin (33) and gave birth to Lindsay (9). Since Benito, Angel, Stefan, Regina, Yasmeen, Austin, Allegra, Kimiko, Ernesto, Fergus, Zhang Wei, Hermione, Byeol, Han-gyeol, Szymon and Mila are well-behaved, the others are far from it. They had a difficult time dealing with their own disabilities, causing their anger, frustration, and impulsiveness. Austin and Courtney scream, hit themselves, bang their heads on everything, suck on their skin until it bleeds, jump on beds, use arm bands while swimming, bite themselves, yell, scream, shout, hit on walls and tables with hands, hit Maude, Benito and other well-behaved kids, throw stuff and break everything in sight. Achara and Arthit are very aggressive, they have meltdowns and break stuff. Jonah, Oonagh, Stefan, Achara, Arthit, Michael, and Byeol take their medicines every day. Benito, Sharesse, Austin, Courtney, and Zhang Wei are nonverbal and use their communication apps for their tablets. Can Jo stop the children?
