What a difference a school makes!

My squirmy autistic grandson has recently been transferred from a general-purpose public school to a school that specializes in autism. Suddenly school is great.

Old school: He won’t hold still. We can’t teach him anything.

New school: He learns just fine after he gets some active time, so let’s go for a walk.

Imagine all those who don't get to the school that specializes, and don't get some active time.
