What comes next for your child with Autism?

For years, school provided structure, learning, activities, and a community.

Then adulthood arrives...and suddenly families are expected to figure out what comes next.

We invite you to a 𝐉𝐨𝐲𝐃𝐞𝐰 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 to discover an approach to adulthood that goes beyond simply finding a place to spend the day.

At JoyDew Foundation, we 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 and focus on each person's strengths, interests, communication needs, and goals.

Our Day Program provides opportunities for:

💬 Expressive and total communication support

📚 Continued learning and skill development

💼 Career exploration, job training, and employment pathways

🤝 Friendships and meaningful social experiences

🌎 Community involvement

🌱 Greater independence and purpose

But we know parents are thinking about much more than a Day Program.

Will my child have meaningful work? Friends? A community where they belong? Where will they live someday? What happens when I'm no longer able to provide the same level of support?

That's why JoyDew is building a 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦, including Day Programming, employment pathways, authentic adult social opportunities, supported housing options, and guidance for families thinking about the future.

Come meet our team, learn about our approach, and discover what your adult child's next chapter could look like.

Our day program identifies their unique strengths and interests, develops them with job training and academic enrichment, provides communication and other supports, and creates high-level employment for people with autism, without exception, where they can learn and grow in a community of their own, and unleash their hopes and dreams.
