VALUE-DRIVEN PROGRAMMING
A quality residential program for autistic adults takes every measure possible to ensure individuals with autism experience dignity, respect, and inclusion.
Ask how the program:
| Ensures that the individual’s health and safety is protected | Ensures that its staff treat everyone with dignity | Provides the appropriate level of privacy and autonomy | Evaluates consumer happiness | Maintains a good relationship with the surrounding community | Values and honors the individual’s preferences | Obtains informed consent from parents and assent from the individuals who live there | Provides developmentally appropriate materials, activities, and choices | Offers evidence-based and effective treatment to increase new skills such as choice-making and decrease challenging behavior such as aggression, self-injury, and other behavior that presents imminent harm to the individual and others
