Autism Support programs at Our Neighborhood Academy

Yes. Our Neighborhood Academy provides autism support programs for young adults ages 18+ who are transitioning out of high school or district-based programs. We focus on life skills, job readiness, and community participation in Berkley and the surrounding Metro Detroit area.

We emphasize:

• Daily living skills such as cooking, money management, and personal care

• Job readiness and hands-on training through our microenterprises

• Social development, teamwork, and communication in community settings

School-based services often end at 18 or 21, but the need for support continues. Our programs bridge that gap by offering a structured environment where young adults with autism can continue building independence, practicing workplace skills, and staying socially connected.

Yes. We create personalized learning plans that reflect each student’s strengths, challenges, and goals. Our staff adjusts the pace of learning to ensure progress feels achievable and supportive.

We primarily serve families in Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield, and across Oakland County. Many families from the greater Metro Detroit area also join our programs.

Families value our:

• Experienced staff with expertise in autism and IDD support

• Safe, welcoming environment

• Community-based learning experiences

• Flexible, family-centered approach
