Parents Need Options

Parents with Autistic children that are dissatisfied with the services their child is receiving in a traditional public school deserve educational options. Special needs children require an individualized focus on their social and academic needs. These students need specialized instruction from certified teachers beyond the scope of an average public school teacher.

A special education scholarship program would provide parents the resources to secure these services to help their children reach their full potential. These families would be able to access early intervention therapies that are critical to the development of special needs children. Parental control and involvement in their vulnerable child’s education is ethically deserved.
