My daughter attends The Phillips Academy in Alameda. https://www.thephillipsacademy.org/ I can't tell you how much we love Phillips --- a real game changer for our daughter. Springstone in Lafayette https://www.thespringstoneschool.org/ is another school popular with ASD kids. Both are non-public schools so Berkeley USD would have to approve of an IEP that supported your kid's attendance there and the district would pay the tuition if they felt they could not meet his needs within the district. I don't think there is a way to private pay tuition in either school but i might be wrong about that.
Thank You
