Autism Schools & Special Education in Aurora

Aurora sits at the intersection of three school districts and within reach of one of the few Illinois therapeutic day schools licensed to serve autistic students exclusively. Illinois funds these placements through districts rather than vouchers - the Invest in Kids tax credit expired and was not renewed. Everything runs through the IEP.
