College grad with autism needs next step
#2
Leaving college can feel surprisingly uncertain, especially when someone is ready for more independence but still needs practical support. A friend’s son was in a similar situation after finishing a transition program near Utica. Their family contacted NY OPWDD, toured several supported-housing options, and asked about job coaching, transportation, cooking, and budgeting not just the building. They also spoke with community mental health and addiction services and found the staff helpful when comparing day services and employment support. Definitely visit in person and ask about staff turnover and individualized goals.
