Adult Community Autism Program (ACAP)

The Bureau of Autism Services will start accepting requests for applications for the Adult Community Autism Program or ACAP on April 1, 2009.

The services people who enroll in ACAP will receive are built upon each person's strengths and determined by each person's needs. The services are designed to help adults living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder be as independent as possible and be involved in community life. The Adult Community Autism Program (ACAP) is the first program of its kind in the nation. Click here to learn more.
