The agency works on transitional needs of Autistic youth to adults and their families so that the individuals may utilize opportunities in college preparation programs through college graduation or job opportunities. We also teach independent living skills, activities of daily living, financial management, self advocacy, community and home safety, social skill building, nutrition and healthy lifestyle, computer and reading literacy and much more depending on the needs of the individual. We assist families with an educational empowerment series that helps them know what services to request from the schools in aiding in their Autistic child's curriculum. We offer interagency training on Autism Awareness, Transition Training, First Responder Training, and Community Support Services Programs.
