ABA Therapy may be most often thought of as for little kids, but quite a few older ones utilize it as well! Insurance will often cover ABA Therapy up to 26 years of age, and many clinics accept a variety of ages. However, it is always a good idea to confirm with your personal insurance and clinic of interest. What, though if your child is past the need of ABA, but may still require other resources?

Resources for Adults with Autism

If your child is interested in joining the work force, one organization to consider is Torch 180. Torch 180 provides vocational and soft skills training for those with disadvantages that would like to work in the food service industry. If your child is having severe struggles and requires intensive intervention, but you're not sure where to start, EasterSeals MORC is a great place to start. They specialize in intensive care while also working along side whatever other services you may already be receiving. They have a wide network of resources and can help you connect to whatever you and your child need. The Autism Support of Michigan website is another site that can link you to countless resources in your area for whatever stage of life you are in. The Autism Alliance of Michigan also has a list of resources for all touched by Autism including employment.
