Autism Services

​The School for Autism is a Licensed Private Academic School that provides special education to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our goal is to support our youth to learn the skills required to achieve their maximum potential. School for Autism students may also be eligible for the  Autism Extended School Year Program which helps youth with autism to maintain progress on their IEP goals, as well as to develop new social and communication skills. We work with children from surrounding school districts in Allegheny, Westmoreland, Beaver, Butler, and Armstrong Counties.

Autism Social Skills Groups are an Intensive Behavior Health Service (IBHS) in Westmoreland County which help children with autism build skills related to interacting and developing successful relationships. Social groups provide intervention to carefully matched groups of children and are facilitated by experienced staff members who have specialized training in autism. ​A Coping Skills Group is offered during the summer and focuses teaching coping skills to youth who have autism. Both groups require a Written Order recommending the service.
