We already have that kind of a model in public schools. The difference between the two is money.
Public schools have special education teachers, and sometimes have entire sub-schools within existing schools just for special education kids. (My mother was a special education teacher.)
Since your school was a boarding school, I imagine it also cost significantly more per-child than we currently spend in public school. A lot of the gain from your experience, I think, was probably from having good instructors trained in how to teach students with those particular disabilities, and probably a good teacher-to-student ratio. If we were willing to pay public teachers more, public schools could attract the same experts, and if we were willing to employ more public teachers in total, we could achieve a similar ratio. We could then achieve the same thing in public schools as in the boarding school.
