Maranatha Basic School is expanding its special education programme to accommodate more children with autism and other neurodivergent conditions, offering hope to parents who have struggled for years to secure a place for their children.
“We have started refurbishing a section of the school. We had a section that was locked up and we are now working on it to be used for autistic students,” principal Arlene Lesley-Bernard shared.
The school currently has a population of 120 students, including 10 children with special needs, but plans are now under way to expand capacity to take in up to 30 more children beginning in September.
