Autism Schools & Special Education in Providence

Rhode Island is small enough that the whole state is your catchment area, and that works in your favour here. Providence Public Schools runs a dedicated autism academy, and RIDE-approved private special education schools - Ocean State Academy, the Groden Center, the Carter School - are all within a short drive. Placement runs through the IEP, not through tuition.
