I was able to work for a family with a little boy with autism. Him mom would often discuss with me the difficulties of having her child in a general education classroom. When I moved to Utah I volunteered at a school for children with autism called Clear Horizons Academy. I loved this opportunity and I was able to see some of the benefits of the school. I was also able to babysit for a family with a daughter that was enrolled in the school. I loved being able to talk to the family and work with this little girl. During this time I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to one day work in a school like Clear Horizons. Now that I am nearing the end of my education, I have thought about the time that I spent in the school, but I still didn’t really understand the purpose of these schools or why they are beneficial. I decided to learn about these schools and why they exist.
