For parents searching for a school that supports kids with autism or any other disorders commonly called Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), private schools offer a variety of advantages with smaller class sizes and the ability to flexibly budget for education assistance and other support. In some cases, ASD schools may specialize in dealing with and even treating autism and related disorders.
To support autism, schools may include education assistance, direct instruction, occupational and behavioural therapy, training in social skills, and more, to help children deal with autism.
Schools understand autistic children well and have tailored the environment and structure to facilitate the integration of students with autism. This specialized understanding should extend into their communications with parents.
On this page, we list private schools in Toronto supporting students with autism.
