FOCUS: Gwinnett benefits from having private special needs school
By Jamie Hamilton | Since 1987, Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett (SNSG), which is not part of the Gwinnett County Public Schools, has served the special needs community in Gwinnett and surrounding counties through their PreK-12 School and Young Adults Learning Life Skills (YALLS) Program. It currently enrolls nearly 100 students, ages 3 to 40.
Gwinnett Forum | Nov. 8, 2024
“The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.”
– British biologist and writer Sir Peter B. Medawar (1915-1987).
