[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that I do think is important is that you want to have this school not just for your son but due to a true mission to serve kids with needs like his.  The founder of Newton is clearly dedicated to her school for the long haul. The founder of another of the mom founded schools left when her son did. I would be thoughtful about approaching other families if you are not in it for the long haul. Otherwise you may as well homeschool.[/quote]

I completely agree.  We all know there is a huge learning curve when it comes to children with special needs.  My hope has always been to create something not just for my son and our family but a place for everyone.  Not only do I want to share all that I have learned and continue to learn from everyone but I want to make sure there is a visible place for those to turn to for information when they are faced with such a situation.  There needs to be something that is available for children aged 2 1/2 thru 21.  A part of this should also have therapy services available for all.  We need a place for parents to go to to listen to professionals for advice.  And, in the end, there has to be a way to make this available to all not just to those that have the access or can afford it.  This is all way too important.  I realize I am dreaming at the moment but it is still my end goal.  Dreams are always worth exploring and, honestly, as parents of children with special needs I'm not sure we have ever had a day that has not been difficult.  It is who we have become and I am planning on running with it.

Again, I get it is all a dream.  I get it is a tremendous amount of work.  I get that I sound like I am crazy so I really don't need to hear the naysayers.  I'm going to try, regardless.  [/quote]
