Autistic children get new school

SEMARANG: A special school for autistic children has been
opened at the Hasyim Asyhari Islamic kindergarten complex, Jl.
Selo Mulyo Mukti Barat IX No. 9, in the Graha Mukti Utama
residential complex, Pedurungan subdistrict, Semarang.

Nur Hasyim Asyhari, chairman of the school's board, said that
the school had been built in response to the concern of members
of the community, who had pointed out that there were a number of
autistic children in the city but no schools were available to
meet their special needs.

"This is a non-profit school. We hope that families with
autistic children will send them here," he said.
