Скачать или смотреть Supported Living for Adults with Autism: A Parent's Guide to Housing Options

In this episode of Autism Labs, Mike Carr and guest Ann Hart explore the complex landscape of housing options for adults with autism and other significant support needs. They emphasize the importance of preparing early—especially getting on Medicaid waiver waiting lists that can stretch up to 20 years—and developing daily living and communication skills to increase future independence and placement options. Ann explains how Medicaid waivers like Texas’ HCS program provide essential funding for residential and support services, and how combining resources such as SSI, Medicaid, and private pay options can expand opportunities. The discussion also highlights the variety of housing models available, from group and host homes to private communities like Marbridge and Brookwood, each with its own strengths and challenges. Ultimately, the episode encourages families to be proactive, explore all possibilities, and tailor solutions that best fit their loved one’s unique needs.
