Principal: Autistic children could get lost in traditional school system

#JamaicaGleaner
Parents of children diagnosed with a learning disability or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are being advised to reconsider decisions to enrol them in the traditional school system as they may struggle to grasp their lessons without enough specialised teachers. The call comes from Maxine Bolton, acting principal of the Promise Learning and Training Centre, who spoke with The Gleaner recently as her school marked its 30th anniversary. The Promise Learning and Training Centre is one of very few institutions in the Corporate Area catering to children and young adults who have been diagnosed with ASD and other learning disabilities.

Mark 10:13-16 And they brought young children to him, that he should ✝️ouch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.🙌🏼
