The Autism Resource Center of Kansas City provides comprehensive support for adults living with autism. We focus on pre-vocational readiness, community engagement, communication, and health & wellness. Our services help individuals develop essential job skills, workplace communication, and hands-on experience in a structured setting. Through community engagement, participants will explore various job settings, building meaningful relationships, practice self-advocacy, and take part in events that foster independence and social connection.
We also prioritize health and wellness, offering structured activities that promote emotional regulation, stress management, and physical well-being. Additionally, we collaborate with therapy professionals and local organizations to ensure participants have access to a well-rounded support system and essential community resources.
We Teach Skills for Life
Job Skills for Real Life
We help adults with autism build the practical job skills needed to work outside the home. From basic task management and communication to understanding workplace expectations, our program gives individuals the confidence to step into the world of work and contribute meaningfully.
Health and Wellness
We know that work success starts with feeling good. That’s why we focus on stress management, emotional regulation, and physical wellness. We use simple techniques like breathing exercises, daily routines, and staying active to build healthy habits for life.
Building Social Connections
Getting out there and meeting people can be hard, but it’s important! We encourage participants to volunteer, visit job sites, and join group activities. This helps them practice self-advocacy, make friends, and feel comfortable in social and work settings.
We’re in This Together
We work closely with local businesses, therapists, and community partners to ensure resources needed for success. Our goal is simple: help your loved one gain the skills to work and thrive, so they can lead a more independent life while you feel confident in their future.
