Spectrum Academy
PLEASANT GROVE Gratitude is the word Amanda Sullivan uses repeatedly when talking about Spectrum Academy and what it has meant to three of her children.
Her kids have been enrolled in the charter school for the past three years, and it has offered them the education, support and opportunities they often lacked while attending public schools.
Spectrum Academy specializes in educating students with autism and other special needs. A popular resource in Utah and Salt Lake counties, the academy broke ground Wednesday for a new facility on its Pleasant Grove campus, which will expand the number of students it can accommodate.
