Need more schools for special children

Autistic children are neglected in our country. With proper care, we can make them worthy citizens.
Very few schools are being run for the special children even in the city areas. The parents of these kids are worried when they do not find special schooling. I know many parents, who have gifted kids, relocated their accommodations within Dhaka city so that they can ensure their children get special schooling but everyone cannot afford to do so.
A special school is an expensive affair. If the government helps these schools financially, and motivates people in setting up similar schools, then the burden of the parents will be reduced and they will feel encouraged to admit their children to these institutions.
