Autism in schools

-
9/27/2008
We recently moved back to Odessa from Plano, Texas. We have a 10 year old who is severely autistic and doesn't speak. We were very nervous about his quality of education to say the least! But, to our relief and delight, we found Odessa schools to be top notch. The teachers and administration are absolutely the best anywhere! My son dreaded school in Plano his last 2 years there. Here he is thriving and social. We have two other children who are also thriving in Odessa schools.
Judging a school district by what they spend per student is shortsighted. Odessa may not have the budget of Plano schools but the staff are all heart.
