Fantastic news for Utah! I'm very happy for the people there. One, because the school will be public and parents who do not have the cash to send their kids to the expensive special needs schools will be able to have a chance and also because we know autistic children are completely different to any other special needs kids, there are kids who can handle a regular school and others who need one on one, specialized education just like the one offered at this school.

The only drawback is that these type of schools (very unique) because of the huge demand and the fact that they're public, use a lottery system if you want your child to be part of it.
