Much better than putting kids in public school! Teachers have a very good relationship with the students. They know just how to motivate each student to excel. They have great phys ed, speech, occupational therapy, swimming, and other activities. The kids learn academic and real world skills. The kids have goals that they thrive to reach and get rewarded for each goal. The offer so much more to these kids than a public school ever would be able to.
