They enjoyed having him, but they just couldn't safely handle him.

That's... impressive. And funded through the university, I assume, to be able to keep the fees so low? We've got a home daycare where the provider looks after a mix of special-needs and NT kids, and it's a wonderful setup, but it's not a one-on-one intensive thing. Wow. That’s… impressive.

It could become an extension of his school day routine and be as positive. Here's hoping...
