We had the great opportunity of working with the Kelly Autism Program last week. The Kelly Autism Program (KAP) is designed to provide services to individuals starting at seven years old, lasting through adulthood, who have been diagnosed along the Autism Spectrum Continuum, as well as their families.

 

KAP also serves as a training program for future professionals in a variety of disciplines. KAP programming includes: elementary school, middle school, high school and post-secondary participants including higher education, vocational training, and job support.

We’ve had the tremendous privilege of working with the Kelly Autism Program over the past few months. Our latest helpers were Blair, 16, and Anthony, 17, members of the KAP employability group. It’s always a great time getting to interact with these individuals, and watching them learn new skills applicable to the business world.

While we’re on the subject of Autism and car washes, check out this fantastic video from Rising Tide Car Wash in Florida. Rising Tide was founded by a family affected by autism, in an effort to empower individuals with this diversity by giving them the tools to be elite car wash professionals. It just goes to show that there’s hope and a purpose for all individuals in life, no matter the situation.
