The Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center offers programs for both children and adults with autism. The four divisions are outreach services, research and training, adult and transitional services, and educational services. All divisions collaborate and work together resulting in solid autism service to the autism community.

"Art for Autism" proceeds go to the center's Adult and Transitional program. The DDDC's adult program offers support for employment opportunities, in-home supports, adult day service, and residential services. These are services which help adults with autism develop and preserve meaningful lives as productive members of society, promoting employment opportunities, social ties in the community, as well as independence.

Specifically, the adult program works to help adults with autism live and work in the community successfully. The ratio of staff to adult with autism is 1:1. All supervisors have an advanced degree and are a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst. Through this environment, individuals with autism learn vocational skills, which lead to job placement. Adults with autism leave the DDDC once per week for a learning experience. Community integration is the goal of the staff of the DDDC.

Job placements can consist of work in restaurants helping clean and prep. Job coaches assist at their jobs to help along the way. The DDDC is currently working on starting a "Men with Mops" service that would have adults with autism work in the university dorms as a cleaning service, effectively learning skills that will help them to live and work in the community.

Dr. Sandra Harris, executive director of the DDDC, explains that the school's goal is to teach adults with autism "adaptive ways of behaving" so that they may "lead lives of dignity through jobs and recreation."
