My sister is 23 years old and is diagnosed with autism and a mild intellectual disability. She does not display challenging/aggressive behaviors, and although she needs supervision she does not need one-on-one care. In our current community, she attends an art studio 3 times per week, an adult day center 1 time per week, and horse riding 1 time per week. Her main interest is art and she is happy to work with various materials. She also loves animals. She is not interested in outdoor activities or programs that require participation in activities she does not want to be involved in. She needs an environment that will allow her to pursue her interests, interact with peers, supervise her safety, and foster healthy relationships with caregivers. We are interested in moving to the Seattle area and I am having a difficult time finding much information about the programs offered for her in that area. The information I have been able to find, looks like the various programs she would be intersted in are not offered regularly enough, or are spread out in various cities which would make it impossible for her to participate in multiple programs to fit her needs. I am hoping to be provided with information regarding programs that fit her needs.
