College-preparatory private school for students with identified learning differences, with roughly a 10:1 student-teacher ratio and Orton-Gillingham-based, multi-sensory instruction. Worth noting it is built primarily around dyslexia, ADHD and executive function needs rather than autism specifically, so fit depends heavily on your child's profile.
