Due to open next month in England, Thames Valley School is a school for autistic children that recognises the strengths of each student and structures its curriculum around the student. The school building is also autism-friendly and does not have any flicking lights, loud colours and shiny surfaces. There will even be "calming pods" in the school. Best of all, students need not fork out a single cent as Thames Valley School is one of the five free schools for children with special educational needs in England.
