History

Established in 1935.

Louise Whitbeck Fraser was a pioneer in special education. In 1935, Mrs. Fraser opened a school in her home for children with disabilities. She believed that all children should have the opportunity to develop to their full potential.

Today, Fraser serves children and adults with more than 60 types of mental and physical disabilities, and is Minnesota’s largest and most experienced provider of autism services. Fraser School provides childcare and early childhood education for young children with typical needs and special needs. Fraser offers an array of housing and in-​home support options for people with disabilities in the Twin Cities area. Our programs are nationally recognized for their high quality, innovation, and individualized, family-​centered approach.
