Having agents on my team with personal experience loving and caring for special needs children, we have great interest in assisting you with finding quality schools and homes for your families. We hope you find my list of schools below helpful.
If you learn of other great special needs schools not listed here, please let us know about them.
Probably the most difficult information for us to gather was for my Atlanta Special Needs Schools pages. We hope my research is helpful in finding the right fit for your child and look forward to helping you further with your home search.
Our data was gathered through direct conversations with schools for accuracy. If there is other information we should include in my next update, please let us know.
