Expanding Adult Services Employment Programs
 
The theme of this year’s Els for Autism Golf Challenge Grand Finale, the culmination of the Foundation’s largest fundraising event will be ‘Bridging the Gap’. 

When young adults with autism graduate from school at the age of 21, many have a difficult time developing a continuing education plan, gaining paid-employment, obtaining independent living, participating in community activities, or getting access to services. 

This gap is so significant, the Foundation’s Adult Services team has been developing and delivering programs in three critical segments.

Safety First!

“Ensuring a safe and secure environment for all the students, clients, teachers, staff and visitors to the campus is and always will be at the forefront of our priorities.”
– Dr. Marlene Sotelo, Chief Operating Officer, Els for Autism Foundation


With our safety measures in place, we can react to most any type of an event with intelligence and awareness, in-place staff assignments, and a process for every individual on the campus to follow.
