Autism Schools & Special Education in Wilmington

Delaware runs a statewide Delaware Autism Program rather than leaving each district to build its own - and the New Castle County site, Brennen School, is in Newark, not Wilmington. Wilmington's own private schools are learning-differences schools, which is a meaningful distinction. Here is the honest picture.
