Rutgers Autism Program

there is an acute lack of services to support adults with ASD.
universities can become part of the answer by providing a model that integrates academic research, student training, and comprehensive community inclusion of adults with ASD.
The center's work will focus on two core on-campus programs: a Workday Program, providing 50 to 60 adult participants with prevocational, vocational, and recreational opportunities; and a Pilot Residential Program, providing residence and services for 20 adult ASD participants who will live alongside 20 Rutgers graduate students and work on campus.
providing unmatched services for adults with ASD in an inclusive and integrated community;
establishing a centralized location for academic research by leveraging and expanding on the university's existing interdisciplinary resources in the area of autism;
developing comprehensive clinical training and educational programs to prepare Rutgers students to meet the needs of adult clients with ASD in the future.
