Day Program 

Autism Career Training offers a highly individualized all-day program that includes a variety of activities aimed at promoting social interaction, skill development, and independence. Instruction is tailored based on the trainee’s initial skills, the family’s goals, vocational aspirations, and independent living skills. At ACT, our goal for this program is to enhance the quality of life and independence of individuals with disabilities. The day program runs 5 days a week and trainees have the option to come between 2-5 days. Tuition rates vary for whichever plan the family chooses.

Areas of focus include: 

  • Social skills
  • Pre-employment skills
  • Independent living skills
  • Fine motor skills
  • Gross motor skills
  • Functional academic skills

As a part of our day program, we offer opportunities for our trainees to get out into our community. Our community program aims to meet the goals of our trainees and their families to help them gain independence in their everyday lives. This includes grocery shopping, visits to the post office, goodwill, recycling centers, UPS, Goodwill, etc, eating out in our community, and other recreational activities. Many of our trainees practice their prevocational skills through job sampling with our community partners such as Waldo’s Chicken, the Branch Food Bank, and more
