Autism & behavioral support: Austin schools, approved providers and TEFA

William's Community School and other campuses that report special-education services, along with approved Austin-area providers listing autism support or behavioral therapy. 12 schools and 24 approved providers in the Austin area match.

Where this comes from. TEFA status here reflects the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) as of October 12, 2026. Enrollment, grades and affiliation come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Neither source publishes tuition, so confirm current tuition and fees directly with the school.

What the account can pay for

  • Behavioral therapy and autism support from approved providers
  • Speech and occupational therapy
  • Specialized tuition: a mainstream-setting IEP brings an Austin ISD student's account to $16,779
  • Assistive technology inside the 10% technology limit

A therapy can be paid from the account only when insurance, Medicaid or another public benefit isn't covering it, and tutors have to meet the Comptroller's credential rules. Full list of approved uses →
