Autism Schools & Special Education in Rochester

Mary Cariola Center runs classrooms at seven students to one teacher and four aides - a ratio almost no school in the country matches - and draws students from 50 school districts across ten counties. New York funds these placements through your district's Committee on Special Education, not through tuition. Rochester also has the Norman Howard School and a district ASD program.
