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.
