Our focus extends to providing financial stability for the various communities we cater to, which encompasses people on autism spectrum and their families
Numerous caregivers and parents of children grappling with disabilities experience a reduction in work hours and subsequent income due to the demands of caregiving. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program addresses this concern by extending monthly financial aid to families with limited income, whose children possess developmental and behavioral challenges. This encompasses a spectrum of conditions, including people on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and physical disabilities.
People on autism spectrum ASD might harbor inquiries about the impact of their condition on their employment prospects, and people on autism spectrum ASD as a deterrent to pursuing work opportunities
In a positive shift, employers have started to acknowledge that people on autism spectrum bring a wide array of skills and strengths to the workplace. Our Ticket to Work (Ticket) Program offers crucial support for individuals aged 18 to 64 who are Social Security recipients and aspire to engage in employment. This initiative facilitates access to vocational rehabilitation, training, job placements, and an array of employment-related services, fostering their career development journey.
