Answer preview

In this course, we were required to propose and implement a community advocacy project. The complete project was an amazing school for children with autism. I named the school as The Angel School, and it was registered as a private school although it would work with in partnership with various organizations. The need for partners is obvious in this case. First, the school attends to special children; children with the autism spectrum. These are children who require special attention, especially in their diet and other health-related issues. Apart from that, these are children who are known to suffer speech conditions of varying degrees, and they would need speech therapists.
