Program for Special-Needs Pupils Is Jeopardized

Two special needs schools in Chicago, Barbara Vick Early Childhood Center and Fredrik Stock School, fight to stay open despite budget cuts. Joshua, who is three, attends Barbara Vick Early Childhood Center. He has been diagnosed with mild autism. His mom says since he has been at this school he is like a different person. He communicates and expresses himself more. His mother's main worry is where he will go to school if this center closes. Will he get the help and attention he needs somewhere else? I hope the school stays open.
