Open House Saturday 5/10/2025

Event Details:

Park in the back or side of the church and enter through Entrance #3 — look for the Autism Community Alliance sign by the door. Additional parking is available at the adjacent Cary Professional Building.

About Autism Community Alliance (ACA):
ACA is a nonprofit day program for neurodivergent young adults (18+ in age)seeking enriching, community-based activities. We offer a flexible weekday schedule (1–3 days/week from 9:30 AM–2:30 PM) with daily outings and a curriculum thoughtfully adapted for individuals with sensory sensitivities.

At this time, each participant—or "camper"—must be accompanied by a 1:1 aide. Families may use an existing Medicaid Waiver or private pay attendant. If needed, ACA may be able to assist in connecting families with qualified aides.

🌿 Coming Spring 2025:
ACA is now accepting the Developmental Disability (DD) Waiver as a Community Coaching provider.
📞 Support coordinators are encouraged to contact us to learn more and explore upcoming availability.

🌟 Coming Summer 2025:
We're excited to launch Saturday respite days, where campers can be dropped off and enjoy 2–4 hours of engaging activities with staff support at a 1:3 ratio. Families who have completed the ACA intake process will be notified as dates become available.

Who Should Attend:
📌 Prospective families
📌 Support coordinators
📌 Personal care attendants
📌 Community partners

✅ Walk-ins welcome!
But signing up in advance helps us plan and make sure we have plenty of space and materials for everyone.

We can't wait to welcome you and share what makes ACA a place where every day brings new possibilities.

📋 Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
