William's School is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing individualized education and therapy supports to children with autism and other developmental disabilities in a nurturing and therapeutic environment.

We serve students with behavioral and communication deficits, ages 2-22, of all abilities. We primarily serve individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, anxiety, learning disorders, Down Syndrome, and other neurological differences. We also welcome our neurotypical peers in our Pre-K and Kinder programs.

William’s School provides students with an individualized learning environment where we believe all students can thrive when given the right support. Typically staffed at one teacher for every 2-3 students, our program is ideal for students who need individualized learning and small ratio classrooms. A custom packet of therapies can be added and embedded to support activities in their daily schedule.

Speech therapy, Occupational therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis are available on-site and integrated throughout our students’ school day. We have optimized integrated treatment by scheduling consistent and frequent team meetings to have all therapists and teachers working in unison, helping our students to reach their goals faster. Collaboration between clinic and school teams is an integral part of our program and having all therapies on-site allows families to receive all needed services in one location and during a typical school day schedule.

William's School is the only IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Austin offering school services to autistic and neurodiverse children without exclusion for severe behaviors, communication difficulties, or complex medical needs. We provide crucial support to meet the educational, therapeutic, and social-emotional needs of an oft-underserved population of children and young adults.

Sustaining support comes from individual donors, foundation and corporate grants, volunteers, in-kind gifts, local businesses, and corporate sponsorships. With your continued support, our students will keep learning and thriving in a nurturing school environment.

Here what our parents have to say:

"We just wanted to take a moment to share our heartfelt appreciation for everything the Williams School team does day in and day out. This community is truly something special, and we are so grateful for the dedication, patience, and heart that each of you brings to your work.

Your commitment to supporting every child - across all learning styles, needs, and abilities - is nothing short of extraordinary. The way you create a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment is something we don’t take for granted. It’s clear that every member of your staff shows up with intention, compassion, and a genuine belief in the potential of each student.

On behalf of our family, thank you for everything you do for our daughter. The growth we’ve seen in her, the support she feels every day, and the confidence you help build in her means more to us than we could ever put into words. We know how much work happens behind the scenes, how much emotional energy is poured into each day, and how deeply you care about these kids.


"It’s hard to put into words how much William’s means to our family. This school has been everything we’ve ever hoped for. From day one, we’ve felt the love and understanding that make this place so special.

Every morning when we drop our son off, we know he’s surrounded by people who truly see him, care for him, and support him right where he’s at. That kind of peace of mind is something we’ll never take for granted.

Recently, a stranger reached out and asked if I’d share what our experience at William’s has been like. My exact response was, “Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful to be part of this school.” And I meant that completely.

We see how much heart and effort you put into creating a space where these kids can grow and be themselves. You show up every day and give so much of yourselves, and it truly shows.

Thank you for all that you do for our son and every child who walks through those doors. We are so thankful for each of you."
