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.

WE'RE STILL REELING
Nearly two weeks later and we're still reeling from the excitement of October 16th -- our 60th Anniversary celebration in One Big Day!
The day started with a visit by Dr. Temple Grandin at League School for Autism where she met staff and students, and toured the school. Next, League School hosted a book signing and speaking event with Dr. Grandin at the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood. The day culminated with our 60th Anniversary Autism Empowerment Gala, emceed by the delightfully entertaining Harrison Stebbins, serenaded by the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism Spectrum of Sound Choir and League School Choir, and honoring Dr. Temple Grandin , Nancy Vetstein Hershfield, the Christopher Catanese Children's Foundation, and Bob Murphy for their impact on autistics and autism education. What an amazing day! Thank you to everyone who joined us. Enjoy some highlights from our One Big Day.

THANK YOU EVERSOURCE FOUNDATION!
Thank you to the Eversource MA Foundation for their recent grant in support of our project to build a Sensory Garden for our students. The goal of the Sensory Garden is to create a therapeutic, inclusive outdoor learning environment that supports regulation, sensory integration, and meaningful engagement for students with autism. The garden is designed as an extension of the classroom and therapy spaces, offering students a calm, structured setting where they can explore, learn, and develop essential skills through hands-on, nature-based experiences.
