About ACRES Project
We are creating a vibrant, uplifting community for all kinds of minds. ACRES (Adults Creating Residential & Employment Solutions) fosters social, vocational, and self-advocacy skills to increase independence and quality of life for autistic and neurodivergent adults. ACRES is like an extended family for those who work, visit, and participate in programs there.
