Autism Schools & Special Education in Marietta

Marietta sits inside metro Atlanta's strongest cluster of special-needs schooling, and it has two genuinely useful local options: MDE School, a private special-needs school on Johnson Ferry Road, and Cobb County's Aspire program, which works like a magnet for students with autism and severe emotional behavior disorders. Here is how to weigh them.
