Open Your World

League School for Autism opens a world of opportunities to students with Autism.

Our team of creative, collaborative, and committed special educators creates and implements an individualized curriculum for each student based on their strengths to prepare them for a fulfilling life in a neurodiverse world.

As one of the first schools devoted to Autism in New England, we invoke a pioneering mindset in everything we do, including how we guide our students based on their own vision of their future.

As the only school in Massachusetts to offer the innovative and evidence-based SCERTS® Model, which allows us to strategically customize a curriculum for each student, we are proud to measure success through the individual student’s achievements.

WORKING WITH PURPOSE
Carlie is one of our newer League School students, who has been trying on various jobs around campus. Here she is working at the Hawk's Nest, our school store. She practiced stocking shelves, waited on customers, and counted out plastic cutlery for classrooms. She is doing great and you can tell by her smile that she loves working!
