Empowering Adults with Autism to Thrive and Belong
At Shine Residences, we’ve created a transformative living environment where adults with autism can flourish and achieve their full potential through our core pillars of Living, Learning, and Belonging.
We understand that families of young adults with autism face crucial questions about their loved ones’ future independence and integration into society. Shine Residences was founded specifically to address these fundamental needs, offering a proven path forward.
Through evidence-based programs and individualized support, our residents develop crucial life skills, engage in enriching activities, and form meaningful connections with peers. At Shine, we’re committed to empowering each resident to define and achieve their personal goals while becoming active, confident members of our vibrant community.
