Services for Adults
At QSAC, we are committed to providing comprehensive and individualized services for adults with autism supporting them in achieving greater independence and realizing their full potential. We offer a range of programs and supports, including day habilitation, community habilitation, residential services, and vocational services. We understand that every individual is unique, which is why we work we to tailor services to meet each person’s specific needs and goals. All of our services incorporate the evidence-based principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Community Habilitation
QSAC’s Community Habilitation program is primarily a skills training program designed to assist families caring for their loved ones with disabilities living at home.
Day Habilitation
QSAC’s Day Habilitation program is person-centered and helps develop consumer choice and the skills necessary for individuals to learn to become active and participating members of their own homes and communities.
Emergency Respite
QSAC has funds available to assist families living in Queens to pay for emergency respite for their disabled loved ones in times of crisis.
