This includes furniture and education materials, technology and adaptive feeding equipment, and six months of comprehensive speech, occupational and physical therapy for eight students. The classroom will open in January 2020 and will be dedicated to PulteGroup and its partners.The Frankie Lemmon School and Development Center provides children with education and support that leads to successful participation in family and community life.
