Autism Schools & Special Education in Lexington

Lexington has one dedicated private special-needs school and one large public district, and Kentucky gives you no state money to bridge between them. Amendment 2 failed at the ballot box, so there is no voucher and no ESA here. That makes the Fayette County Public Schools IEP process the main event for most families - and makes it worth learning properly.
