Looking for a private school for my 13 year old with high functioning autism and behavioral issues
Hello foks, We are looking for a private school for my high functioning autistic 13 year old with behavioral issues. He attended Floyd Marchus School in Concord for 2 years and we finally decided not to enroll for a 3rd year. We didnt feel that the school was the right fit for him and not really fond of the seedy location and hard to get to location. Desperate mommy of a teen

Depending on what you mean by behavioral issues, you might look at Orion Academy in Moraga. It is college prep for HFA and NLD and they really know this population. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and best of luck.
In addition to Orion, there's also Springstone in Lafayette. My son went there from 6th through 12th grade and benefited tremendously. They serve basically the same population as Orion. You can contact me with any questions about Springstone.
Check out Springstone in Lafayette
Check out the Phillips Academy in Alameda. This is a non-public school paid for by your school district. All students have an IEP. It is a very family friendly environment with strong therapeutic support. Call Dr. Esther Cohen at 510 864 3503.
