Rural town school needs a dedicated high school for ASD kids.

I have a  situation that i fear is NOT  unique. My three stepsons live in a rural town in New South Wales.

Currently ASD diagnosied children in the community are not getting educational assistance in their high school years there as there is no dedicated school for them to attend.

What has happened:

Autistic kids who try to attend the HS  aren't gettting aides and so they are stressing out, having  meltdowns,and they can't finish work because they get no help. Then they fail the courses. The school can't cope and refuses to have them.

social skills turn taking and group work

I am at uni studying speech and language therapy where there are 30 of us. a lot of the time the tutors are at the front and we are all facing them then they ask us our opinions/ knowledge on and area and we are able to take turns to raise anything we have to say. I find turn taking and recognising in this situation when another person has finished talking really heard any tips?
