Event Description
As many of you may know, Santa Rosa Beach is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States and Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States. Once a tourist town, Santa Rosa Beach has become home to many families. With the growth of our community and the increase of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, we created South Walton Academy to bridge the gap between special needs and our community by creating the first of its kind inclusion program on the Emerald Coast. We accommodate students of all abilities including those on the Autism Spectrum as well as typically developing and advanced developing students. We have a school and therapy program and we are open to the community for therapy, as well summer camps, aftercare programs and more. We work with the Florida Department of Education as well as the State of Florida to provide additional opportunities for students that include scholarship programs for low income families, children who have been bullied, struggle with reading, and for those with a disability. As we expand to make room for our growing student population, we look to our community to help make a way to add additional classrooms as well as fill the gap for scholarships for students.
