I have a 4 year old on the spectrum and we just purchased a home in the Brockport area.When I was searching and contacting schools in the suburbs Brockport was very good also Spencerport,Greece.If you call the schools directly they were pretty informative about early intervention, special classes for kids on the spectrum including language,etc...also about teachers that come to the home which I currently receive on long island but programs much better in western,ny.

there is a great school in east rochester called Lois E. Bird School it is for children with autism and other mental disorders my son loves it there and he is friends with a nonverbal girl the classes are small and busses pick them up even if they live far away

Well first I want to say good luck with your move, second contact the Cener for Autism and Related Disorders in Fairport, they service individuals on the autism spectrum in the Rochester area.
