Pensacola has a genuine autism school - East Hill Academy, founded here in 2002 - plus an unusually strong local advocacy organization in Autism Pensacola. Florida''s scholarship system also makes private placement more financially reachable here than almost anywhere. Here is how it fits together.
Private nonprofit founded 2002 on West Garden Street in downtown Pensacola for children with autism and related learning disabilities, grades K-12; serves Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, second campus in Milton.
Pensacola-area autism organization maintaining education resources and a regularly updated area resource guide. Useful for navigation, not an educational placement.
Behavioral/emotional needs school (not autism-specific)
SESI school serving students with emotional, behavioral, developmental and learning challenges needing a more structured environment. A behavioral program rather than an autism program.
