The Bay School provides students with autism and/or developmental disabilities ages 5 to 22, comprehensive, extended year educational and clinical services regardless of their race, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, or religion. The educational and treatment approach used at The Bay School is based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), a methodology that applies principles of behavior to learning.
