We’re excited to welcome Spectrum Charter School to the 2026 Autism Safety Expo!

"The First Autism-specific Charter School in the United States"

Spectrum Charter School believes in creating a supportive environment where students are valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. Their focus on meeting students where they are, celebrating strengths, and helping each student build confidence and independence makes them a great addition to this year’s Expo.

Families and students: be sure to stop by their table on October 30 and learn more about what they offer!
