Welcome
The Center for Autism Education is a non-profit organization that serves individuals with severe and challenging behaviors who have Autism or other developmental disabilities. The Center is a private school approved by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and serves students ages 6-21. The Center contracts with local school districts in St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren and Franklin counties and implements each student's IEP (Individualized Education Plan) including all related services. We specialize in providing the supports necessary to teach some of the most challenging students in the area. We provide education to students who have severe aggression, as well as property destruction and are typically described as some of the hardest kids to educate. Support is provided to teach these students the necessary skills to function in the home and community without exhibiting aberrant behaviors while making them employable and independent. Social skills are emphasized and taught as they are needed to develop meaningful relationships with family and friends.
