Where students with learning and behavior differences thrive.

At Boca School for Autism, every student is provided with an individualized education, building on their strengths, and addressing their needs. Our program utilizes a transdisciplinary approach incorporating applied behavior analysis (ABA), relationship-based education, language/communication therapy, and occupational therapy, infusing sensory strategies throughout the school day. Our evidence-based and emerging best practice curriculum is provided through Universal Design for Transition programming, so that all students, regardless of ability level, learn to relate academics to necessary life skills. The small teacher-to-student ratio and teaching expertise enable and empower students to grow academically and socially. Our goal is to teach each student the skills and behaviors necessary to reach their goals and to become independent adults who can participate and contribute meaningfully to their community, home life and social activities.
