Welcome to St. Dominic Savio Academy, a school for autism located in Tempe, Arizona.  We are a private, non-profit center for autism education. Using multiple modalities and the principles of applied behavior analysis, SDSA educates children with autism spectrum disorders with a completely individualized program, creating meaningful and lasting change for children with autism and their families.  With the principles of applied behavior analysis as our overriding philosophy, we provide students with a highly individualized program to meet their unique needs, while providing real-world and authentic classroom experiences to optimize transition to less-restrictive environments.  We offer a comprehensive program in all skill areas including academics, life skills, socialization, communication, and vocational skills.  It is because of these practices that SDSA is a leading school for autism in Arizona.  We believe that every student with developmental disabilities can have significant success when provided a structured and caring environment and developmentally- appropriate instruction.
