If a particular defensive driving course isn't listed on the DMV approved traffic school list, is there still a way to get permission to take it?

Possibly, but it depends on the situation. Start by writing a letter to the court requesting permission to attend the defensive driving course not listed on the DMV approved traffic school roster. Do so well before your deadline to complete the traffic school course, especially if you are taking it after receiving a traffic ticket or speeding ticket.
Situations vary according to your state's driver's license agency, the court overseeing your ticket, and the specific traffic school course you're interested in taking. It might be difficult to get permission in most cases, but if you have a strong enough reason for wanting to use a particular traffic school, it doesn't hurt to try.
Just don't take a class if it's not from a DMV approved traffic school and figure no one will notice. States want their drivers to take defensive driving classes from schools that meet minimum quality standards; that's why they have a list of approved schools.
Besides giving you a refresher course on driving safety, taking a traffic school class can sometimes reduce your traffic ticket fine or get your speeding ticket dismissed. And, it may lower your insurance premiums, too.
