What if the “help” your child is getting is actually fueling a billion-dollar industry?
In this eye-opening episode, Instructor Mike breaks down the historical pipeline that turned Black children—especially boys—into currency for a sprawling diagnostic system. From the original intent of special education to today’s explosion of behavioral labels, pharmaceuticals, education tech, and consulting firms, we trace the shift from disability support to behavioral profit.
Learn how federal legislation like IDEA unintentionally incentivized misdiagnosis, how school budgets now depend on special ed classifications, and why Black parents must learn the system before the system learns their child.
🔎 Topics include:
• The 1975 legal spark that opened the floodgates
• How ADHD became the gateway diagnosis
• Why school “support” often equals surveillance
• The billion-dollar business of behavior
• What happens when Black children are no longer misread?
This episode isn’t just informative—it’s a warning. Because once your child is on the diagnostic train… it’s hard to get them off.
