A scene from Lorenzo's Oil 1992
School Therapist

He does present as a Hyperactive.

Michaela Odone

But Hyperactives repeat tasks endlessly, don't they?

School Therapist

They perseverate, yes.

Michaela Odone

Lorenzo's activities all have a shape and structure: beginning, middle and end.

Augusto Odone

My Gosh, he's learned three languages. How can he be Hyperactive?

School Therapist

I know it's hard to accept that a gifted child may also be disturbed.

Principal

I think that Lorenzo needs to be referred to our IDP committee.

Michaela Odone

What's that?

Augusto Odone

For what?

Principal

Individual Disablity Placement. Lorenzo needs to be in a special ed. class.

Michaela Odone

Any special ed. our son needs will be provided at home.
