EHA was founded in order to meet the needs of autistic children who are not yet equipped to succeed in a traditional school environment. Currently EHA is unable to enroll and provide services for non-conversational students and many have no other education options in our community. Without the special interventions offered at EHA, these children will continue to struggle in their process to learn. Approximately 95% of EHA students are able to re-enter public school on grade level within an average three years. For each additional student enrolled at EHA, there is an increased likelihood that one or more special needs children will successfully return to public school and complete his or her education.
