Autism Community in Christ- Independence for Life
Independence for Life
We have teamed with the Living Hope Church in Ridgewood, New Jersey, in creating a program that is focused on the realities of people with autism as they mature and seek long-term solutions, we are guided by Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Our Mission: We believe that individuals with autism can achieve their dreams if given a chance, and that's what our Program does- give them a chance! Through an Intro to Faith, skills and behavior modelling, continuing development, and community integration, there are no limits! We help ever-increasing numbers of adults on the autism spectrum by helping them grow in many ways, and also helping their families into their later years. Autism Community in Christ (“ACC”) was created to address this increasing need! We help ever-increasing numbers of adults on the autism spectrum by providing:
Bible stories and discussion help our clients gain new insights into why they are here, and what is possible under God's all-knowing guidance!
Skills and behavior modelling can produce results that no one thought possible before!
As Autism Community in Christ fulfills its Mission, we will grow and reach more communities. As our clients’ independence, self-sufficiency, and quality of life increases, abuse and neglect will correspondingly diminish. We operate with an incentivized system which promotes from within, and injecting excitement into the program will be rewarded. Increasingly positive results lead to ever-increasing demand for our program, outgrowing our early physical facilities. Our participants will discover more of their potentials, and begin to realize and develop them. ACC will be a premier provider, grow our methodology, and expand our offerings to an increasing number of locations.
No more vegetating on the couch playing video games and watching TV! Let's get with the program!
We visit the local downtown and other areas of interest in the County, and mix with everyone in the community!
Our Approach: Our credentialed and caring instructional staff works hands-on with our clients, interacting with knowledge and experience, creating enrichment on many levels and in many ways. Based on increasing our clients’ awareness of the power of faith in their lives, we help them realize their potentials, better appreciate those around them, and integrate them more meaningfully with the community in which they live. ACC gets our clients excited about life and learning. Most importantly, ACC facilitates the same access to all that life has to offer that everyone else in the community enjoys. Instead of living apart from the community, our participants take their place in the community. This is a result of receiving caring instruction combined with skills and behavior modelling, which makes better community living possible.
