PACTT Residential Programs

individualized programming for children & adults

PACTT operates a therapeutic residential program serving individuals ages 7 – 22 with a primary diagnosis of autism. Intense support and supervision are available 24 hours a day to provide the structure that individuals on the autism spectrum require.  Each group home houses 6 participants with a ratio of 1 staff per 2 clients during waking hours

PACTT believes that learning is a life-long process.  To assist adults ages 18 and older in reaching their potential, PACTT offers 24-hour residential care in a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA).  Each group home houses 8 individuals with a primary diagnosis of autism.

evidence-based + client-centered

An evidence based, client-centered approach is utilized to empower each participant in building skills to gain greater independence. An individualized service plan is developed by a treatment team including: clinical staff, parents/guardians, direct care providers, personal support advocate and, most importantly, the participant.  Goals are created by the team to assist the resident in developing skills in the areas of: activities of daily living, community integration, sensory and emotional self-regulation, communication and socialization.
