Autism Schools & Special Education in Rockville

Rockville has an unusual concentration of MSDE-approved nonpublic special-education schools - Ivymount, Sheppard Pratt, the Lourie Center, Ridge - plus Montgomery County Public Schools'' own autism services. The key thing to understand in Maryland is that these nonpublic placements are usually funded by the district, not paid out of pocket.
