The Detroit School of Autism serves children ages 3–5 with Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1 and Level 2. Our program is designed for children who benefit from structured routines, small classroom environments, and communication-centered learning.

• Our multidisciplinary team includes access to the following professionals, allowing us to support the whole child in one setting:

  • Occupational Therapists

  • Behavioral Therapists

  • Speech Therapists

  • Licensed Autism Specialists

  • ABA Therapists (provided through our third-party partner, Centria, as needed)

  This integrated approach supports academic, social, emotional, and daily living skill development.

Yes. We offer 1:1 ABA therapy through our partner, Centria, when clinically appropriate.

• ABA is assigned one child at a time

• Sessions occur 2–3 days per week

• Sessions may last up to 4 hours per day

• Therapy can take place in the classroom or in a designated therapy space

Our goal is to support learning while maintaining social interaction and classroom inclusion.

Families complete a screening tour and intake process, which allows us to explore the environment together and discuss your child’s individual needs. Our priority is always placing children in the right environment, even if that means recommending another program.

Families are encouraged to begin by completing our Parent Interest Form.
