Chrysalis School
The Chrysalis School is an independent school for autistic children in Hertfordshire, England. The school is currently based in Codicote, with plans to relocate to enable expansion. It uses the model of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to facilitate teaching its pupils.[1]
The school's aim is to start working with young children who have just been diagnosed with autism, or those who have been following a home-based ABA programme. It was set up by two families who have children with autism.
With the backing of the Local Education Authority, plus fundraising and grants, the school provides places for children between four and eleven years of age. The school is a registered charity.[2]
The school was recently featured in 'You' magazine, [3] in an article about schools started by parents.
