Ann Eisenberg is a founder and executive director of Palm Beach School for Autism. Ann is fiercely committed to providing an innovative education and behavioral support to individuals with ASD.

Palm Beach School for Autism was founded in 2003 by a group of parents who were seeking a better education for their children with autism.  The founders of the school wanted a program that would provide individualized education and therapy to children with autism.

And they found that the existing options were not meeting their needs. They began researching best practices and consulting with the experts in the field of autism education to develop a program that would address the specific needs of their children. The program is designed to be highly individualized and data driven with each child receiving a customized educational plan based on their unique needs and strength. Beginning with 30 students, Palm Beach school for Autism now serves a almost 400 students in prep – grade 12
