[quote=jbarceneaux]Op here.  Great info regarding Montgomery County.  Thanks.  Greenwood School in Jacksonville FL serves kids wit high functioning autism and other learning differences.  It's wonderful.  https://greenwoodjax.org  It goes from 6-12th grade.  Before 6th grade there is next to nothing for our kids.  Florida has the Gardner Scholarship which is about $10,000 that you can use for all medical and educational expenses as described in other's posts, but since health insurance covers next to nothing (or nothing in my case) for autism services and medical expenses it goes quickly.  I would not say Florida is a great place for support for autism.  I've heard of a couple of good schools near Orlando years ago when my son was in Elementary, but I have no first hand knowledge of them.  Public schools are a hit or miss - mostly a miss.  I know of one family that's happy with their public school in Jacksonville, but I've heard they generally don't want speccial needs kids -and most families choose private with either the Gardner scholarship or the McKay Scholarship (the McKay is for kids that have been in public school for at least a year I belive - so we did't qualify for that.)  In general public school in Florida can't compare to Montgomery Country public schools.   [/quote]
