Danny is going to be part of a special program, a consortium of schools called LABBB.
He will learn lots of life skills as well as social skills as well as academics. He is very happy that they go swimming, bowling, ice skating, help at the food pantry, shopping, cooking, etc.
He has been able to visit with his new teacher and classmates and is very excited!
