Yes, a child with autism can attend a regular school. Many children on the autism spectrum are successfully included in general education classrooms with the right support.
Under U.S. law, children with disabilities have the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). This means schools must provide accommodations and services to meet each child’s unique needs.
Support may include:
- Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
- Speech or occupational therapy
- Classroom aides or special education support
- Social skills training
Some children may thrive in a regular classroom full-time, while others benefit from a mix of general and special education settings. The goal is always to help the child learn and grow in the environment best suited to their abilities.
Kids N Heart offers ABA therapy that supports school readiness and social success, helping children with autism thrive in both academic and everyday settings.
