MDE school is staffed with the most professional, hardworking teachers and support staff I have ever seen. Each child is treated as an individual. Everyone works hard to ensure that every child’s educational goals are met and that life skills are imparted to better prepare them for life beyond school. Mindy Elkan has cultivated an amazing, all inclusive atmosphere for her students.
Who We Are
MDE School is the only special education school in the Atlanta metro area supporting neurodiverse students from preschool through early adulthood. As a nonprofit private school, we provide personalized education for students with developmental delays who may not thrive in traditional settings.
Our tailored academics, enrichment programs, and life skills training empower each student to reach their full potential in a supportive, nurturing environment. When ready, students can transition seamlessly to MDE Vocational Academy on our campus, serving young adults ages 15+ with a focus on vocational, life, and social skills.
Our experienced team specializes in working with students with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, communication disorders, and other learning differences supporting each child’s academic, social, and emotional growth at their own pace.
