Special Education & Learning-Difference Schools around Cincinnati
Schools the federal survey codes as special education, plus deaf-education and therapeutic programs.
Funding note: Families here usually lean on the Jon Peterson or Autism Scholarship, worth up to $34,000 in 2026-27, rather than EdChoice.
Membership here comes from the federal survey's special-education code plus deaf-education and therapeutic programs. It is not DEW's list of Jon Peterson or Autism providers, so ask each school whether it is registered.
