Arizona Autism Charter School (AZACS), a public charter school for K–12 students, opened in 2014 to provide individualized education for students with autism and other disabilities alongside typically developing peers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders moved quickly to adapt instruction to online and hybrid models, coordinate comprehensive services, and maintain supports.
The lessons learned from pandemic responses in schools like AZACS offer enduring lessons about fluid and effective practices that meet the needs of all students.
