Autism Schools & Special Education in Hartford

Hartford has an unusual asset in CREC, the Capitol Region Education Council, which runs autism programming across the region as a public entity rather than a private school. Add several state-approved private special education schools nearby, and the fact that Connecticut districts fund outplacements when they cannot serve a student appropriately, and Hartford families have more genuinely fundable options than the absence of a voucher would suggest.
