What are Community-Integrated Residential Services for Adults with Autism?

• Tailored Support: Imagine John, a young adult with autism who struggles with daily tasks. There are trained staff in these residences to help him learn and master those daily activities.
• Structured Social Activities: Picture Lisa, another resident who feels isolated. Here, she finds a schedule full of group outings and game nights tailored to her comfort level, fostering friendships and connections.
• Therapeutic Sessions: Think of Alex, who often feels overwhelmed. These homes often have therapists or counselors to help residents like Alex cope with emotions and stress.
• Skill-building Workshops: Residents like Sarah, who always wanted to cook, get opportunities to pick up new hobbies and skills in a supportive environment.

Long-term, individuals in these residences often experience a boost in self-confidence, increased independence, and a stronger connection to their community.
