Charles Lampkins was already concerned about his two oldest sons before their Memphis school closed due to the coronavirus pandemic last spring.
Both his fifth-grader, Jermaine, and his fourth grader, Justin, have individualized education programs, or IEPs, plans outlining accommodations for students with disabilities ranging from an ADHD diagnosis and dyslexia to cognitive disabilities.
