About Us

Austin’s Place was started by parents of these special persons so that their child would have a safe place to go to each day to continue to refine the life skills necessary to become contributing members in their local communities after graduation. It is the more intense behavioral and sensory needs of these specific types of learners that often limit these young adults from effectively participating into traditional adult vocational support programs. Austin’s Place is designed to provide specialized and intensive programming for these young adults to address specific behavioral or sensory limitations, while still focusing on developing vocational skills and increasing community integration.

Our Mission

To provide specialized, intensive transitionally focused training for young adults graduating from traditional school systems who are diagnosed with autism spectrum, developmental and intellectual disabilities and who are moderately to significantly impaired.
