CSAAC oversees 52 homes in Montgomery County, MD, providing community living to children and adults with autism. Homes are staffed around the clock by counselors who teach independent living skills such as housekeeping, personal hygiene, shopping, money management, communication, telephone use, and leisure activities. These homes provide individuals with an alternative to living in an institution or in their parents' homes, and allow residents to exercise independence as adults.
Families of adults volunteer time and expertise seeking appropriate homes and loans through a nonprofit corporation, Residential Continuum, Inc. Typically two or three individuals live in each home, which are appropriately staffed according to individual needs.
