Presentation Abstract/Bios Website
Funds for lifespan services are shrinking yearly. We need innovative programs that are self sustaining and pilot projects to learn what benefits individuals with ASD across the lifespan. This presentation focuses on The Campus of Life, a TERI project. This campus provides multiple sustainable models for lifespan support, including urban farming, microenterprise development, Special Needs Life Quality Coaching and Planning; post-secondary education models; and other innovative programs.
