The Shire House Transitional Residential Program is specifically for HFA Formerly known as Aspergers, and Neurodiverse young adults aged 18 -28.
Our program teaches our clients to understand and manage their diagnosis and any other underlying issues to reach their particular level of self-management.
We provide guidance and support our clients through any educational or employment path they might have chosen to undertake.
Our clients are expected to work or attend school within a reasonable timeframe the professionals working with the client deem as appropriate.
We tailor our program to the client's needs and challenges as each client is unique.
We run our residential program out of a large house with a co-ed college dorm setting that can accommodate five clients at a time.
A house manager lives on the premises and our Social Mentors come in throughout the day Monday through Saturday.
