Mother Fights for Justice

The Tennessee Justice Center is awarding Lisa Addison with the Mother of the Year award in Nashville today.  Addison has been fighting for the right health care and schooling for her son.

Six months ago, her son's doctor told her that his previous diagnoses(ADHD, PTSD, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, development disorders, and familial tremors) were wrong and should be tested for Asperger's Syndrome.  However, the doctors qualified to do the tests do not take TennCare insurance.

Read about her story in "Mother of the Year"
