Walbridge School
I have heard good things about the Wallbridge School in Madison. They have a 6 to 1 student to teacher ratio and teach a variety of challenged kids. The website is Welcome to Walbridge School. |

My nephew went to Walbridge because he wasn't succeeding in the public school system. He seemed to do okay there. I think it is more for kids with emotional problems/learning disabilities, though I guess aspergers is sort of an emotional problem or at least a human relational problem. I wasn't under the impression they were set up for something as specialized as autism, but it is worth checking out.

the funding has deteriorated for kids with autism in madison; i don't think there are any "excellent" schools. another reader mentioned the family therapy center for mental health treatment--everyone there is top-notch, but i don't know if anyone specializes in autism!

Check into Glen Stephens Elementary. I have been told by my neighbors that they moved into our neighborhood so that their kids with special needs could attend this school.

Verona
I have a friend who is a retired school teacher. She met many people that moved into the Verona area, because the Verona Schools were suppose to be a positive experience for students with autism. Supposedly, a website used as a resource in the autism community recommended Verona.
