At Redstone, students participate in a full-time educational program, strictly designed for students with autism, with teachers who have been specifically trained in autism…. Ann Lopez, the executive director who has a daughter on the autism spectrum, said, “We will always continue to provide educational childcare and preschool to all students, but we also want to be able to bring these free autism services to Ashtabula County where there are so few resources for these students.”
