Very sad that only extremely rich people can afford a good education for their autistic child. You want to help autistic children but how many autistic children does this actually help with the tuition being over 30k per year. Thank god I found a good program for my high functioning daughter in public school. Absolutely ridiculous.

From the first phone conversation we had with the director about their mission and goals, we knew TAA fit with what we wanted to accomplish for our 10 year old son. Unlike the other Autism schools I had toured in Houston proper, TAA wants the children to succeed so they can function in society beyond just being a student. Our 10 year old son started in January and in a mere 5 months he has made friends, is going to birthday parties, and has play dates. The entire community surrounding TAA has made us feel welcomed. The teachers have this ability to get results while knowing how far to nudge without resulting in a meltdown.
