Rochester Public Schools runs autism spectrum disorder programs at specific elementary buildings and a transition program that runs to age 22 - both worth knowing about by name before your first IEP meeting. Minnesota has no voucher or education savings account, so the public system is where the leverage is. The good news is that the district's programming is more differentiated than most cities this size.
