Admissions
Experience a smooth admissions process at The Lighthouse. Our four-step approach ensures a transparent and pleasant experience for every family.
Our Executive Director has a personal connection to autism—her son, Daniel, is a student here at The Lighthouse and is on the autism spectrum. Serena and Daniel have faced numerous challenges navigating both private and public school systems. As a parent Serena finds herself first hand experiencing the importance of finding the right educational environment for children with autism.
At The Lighthouse, our school is led by parents who, just like you, have tirelessly advocated for their children’s education. We empathize with the journey you’re on and are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Whether you’re considering enrollment or already navigating the admissions process, our team is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and positive experience for everyone involved.
We are here to listen, understand your needs, and provide the guidance and assistance you need to make informed decisions. Your child’s education and well-being are our top priorities, and we will do everything possible to ensure that your family feels welcomed and supported throughout your journey with us.

Step 2 Schedule a Meeting
Prospective families are encouraged to schedule a meeting with the Director of Education or the Director of Clinical Services to learn more about the programming available at The Lighthouse. During this time, families are encouraged to share their goals for their child.
Step 3 Complete the Assessment
Depending on the program you wish to enroll your child, the assessment may be conducted by the Director of Education or the Director of Clinical Services. This comprehensive assessment aims to ascertain the student’s current academic, behavioral and developmental level. Parents should anticipate this assessment to span several hours. A class trial may be included in this assessment if the prospective student is enrolling in the school program. An assessment summary is sent to prospective families after the assessment has been completed.
Step 4 Submit Registration Forms
Prospective families who wish to enroll their child will complete the required registration forms and submit any relevant documentation to support their child’s learning. This may include recent Psychoeducational Assessments, ABA Assessments, SLP Assessments, OT Assessments, past report cards or past IEPs.
We welcome visits from parents and children at The Lighthouse seeking the proper foundation for their future. Our staff will gladly show you around and answer any questions you have about our school and support for students.
