This magical place of loving individuals has been life changing for our family and we’re only on week two! The difference in our son and how he feels so incredibly supported and cared for is remarkable. Every single detail has been conscientiously planned and executed such that nothing is left out. Staff are caring and responsive and no one gets left behind. The shift we have seen in our child’s progress already is incredible and we feel so fortunate to have the opportunity for him to attend. Principal Harris is a force to be reckoned with and has created a model that has international implications to change the lives of autistics and their families. As an autistic adult myself with a Doctorate in Education and a Master’s in Counseling as well as multiple Ivy League credentials and certifications, I can say without hesitation that this school is hands down the only one I’d want my kiddo to attend. Outside of all that, my mama heart rests easy knowing my baby is educated, supported, understood, nurtured, empowered, safely and delicately handled, and truly INSPIRED to live his best life in this fun and powerfully motivating environment. I’ve toured and considered private schools around the world as we travel often and a tremendous part of our decision to finally settle here in Florida was because AIA is here. Finally, a place to call home – for his mind, body, and spirit. Words cannot adequately encapsulate the multi-faceted and forward thinking pedagogical approach these folks take to the human heart and the brilliant mind of a child who beats to the tune of his own drum. Thank you for being you.

I tried numerous schools with my autistic son and he hated everyone of them, Every day was a battle to get him out the door.Since starting autism inspired his speech and comprehension have increased so much he was able to go into a karate class without any special needs assistance. And the biggest plus is that my son loves the school and can’t get out the door fast enough. I’ve been able to converse with the teachers and administrative staff any time I’ve had questions or concerns. I really can’t say enough good things about the school
