Autismobile
The Autismobile is a recreational vehicle (RV) that will be converted into a classroom-like activity unit. The space will be physically divided into separate personalized workspaces designed for specific activities, such as a creative space, an area to practice life skills, somewhere to decompress, and more. Caregivers will reserve the Autismobile in advance for 60- or 90-minute sessions. This time will bring a temporary respite for caregivers to enjoy time free of responsibility without leaving their home.
The Autismobile is…
-
For people ages 5 to 21 that have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder
-
A recreational vehicle (RV) that has been converted into a mobile interactive space
-
Equipped with activities and tools to improve the skills of those with autism
How does it work?

Autism Wings trained staff drives the Autismobile to the client’s home and parks in a client-provided, meter-free, legal parking space
