Grounds for Growth
In January of 2024, The Center for Autism Education acquired a new building for our Adult Day Program, now conveniently located on the same campus as our Instructional Day Facility. This expansion allows us to better serve our growing community of consumers and continue offering tailored, individualized support.
As we move into 2025, we are excited to announce the launch of our Grounds for Growth campaign. This transformative initiative aims to reimagine the outdoor space on our day center campus, creating a fully accessible recreational area designed to meet the diverse needs of our consumers, regardless of age or ability. The vision is clear: to build a space that supports social interaction, physical activity, and sensory exploration, enriching the lives of those we serve.
The newly designed outdoor area will be a vital resource where our consumers can enhance motor skills, engage in meaningful social connections, and experience the benefits of physical movement. By incorporating features that encourage interaction and growth, this space will foster a sense of belonging and independence. The Grounds for Growth campaign represents an essential next step in our mission to ensure that every individual has access to the tools they need to thrive, improving well-being and overall quality of life.

CAE's Adult Day Program
Since its establishment in 2010, our Adult Day Program has addressed the critical gap in services for adults with severe behavioral challenges. Many individuals faced limited options after graduating from school, and CAE has been there to provide personalized support. This foundation of individualized care is the driving force behind our efforts to expand and improve the services we offer.
The Grounds for Growth campaign is an opportunity to add a key element to our program: an inclusive outdoor space that integrates physical activity into the daily routines of our consumers. Research consistently shows that outdoor play and physical movement are essential for individuals with autism, promoting sensory regulation, motor skills development, and social engagement. By transforming this space, we will continue to enhance the overall well-being of our consumers and foster greater independence and a stronger sense of community.
