Augusta does not have a dedicated autism school, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. What Georgia does have is two separate scholarship programs that can follow your child to a private school - the SB 10 Special Needs Scholarship and the newer Georgia Promise Scholarship. Understanding both, plus the Richmond County IEP process, is where the leverage is.
Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (SB 10)
