Autism Schools & Special Education in Port St. Lucie

A public charter school built specifically for autistic students is opening in St. Lucie County for the 2026-27 school year - which changes the picture on the Treasure Coast considerably. Until now, families here have relied on St. Lucie Public Schools' ASD units plus Florida's FES-UA scholarship. Both remain the backbone. Here is how it all fits together.
