Cape Coral Autism School Opens Expanded Campus

Thrive Academy, a Cape Coral private school for students on the autism spectrum, has opened an expanded campus that increases its capacity to serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The renovated facility adds room for educational and therapeutic services, including applied behavior analysis and occupational therapy, and offers some services to families whose children do not attend the school. Family Initiative, which operates the school, says the expansion responds to growing demand for specialized education and support, while families describe the program as a valuable alternative to navigating public-school services. The organization also offers programs to help students prepare for adulthood, including internship opportunities through its partnership with Lee County.
