Autism Schools & Special Education in Anchorage

Anchorage has no autism-specific private school - and being honest about that is more useful than padding a list. What Anchorage does have is a large district special education department and something most states lack entirely: a state-funded agency, SESA, that sends autism specialists into schools at no charge. That combination is the realistic path here.
