State/Country relating to Question: California

Already Tried:
Sorry, I'm crying - thank you so much for agreeing to help me. I'm so sad that he cries himself to sleep almost every night asking question like "mom, why was I born this way." "I wish I could do life over and be born to be able to see colors they way other people do." "Mom, how come the grass isn't green to me?" "Mom, why are other kids so mean when they know I don't see colors the same as them and they still make fun of me?" "Mom how come my art teacher says 'what's wrong with you?' when he knows I don't see colors like everyone else." I could go on and on with the awful things people have said to him. He sees a therapist and last night when he was crying he said that it will probably take a month of daily sessions to make all of the mean things people have said to him go away. I've tried looking up federal websites to see if there is any federal funding for a teacher to accompany him at school to make sure he is not ridiculed. I can't find anything. I've tried to find if his private school is required to help in some way. I've been unable to find out anything. I think the official medical term is deuteranopia. vischeck.com has a pretty good website that details how he sees colors. He is red/green deficient. There should be some type of federal funding for children with color deficiencies? When I type in "color" almost all sites think I'm researching racial - Thanking you again in advance for your time. Sincerely, Brenda
