The Autism Academy of Learning - Vocational Program

The Vocational Program at the Autism Academy of Learning was first established in May of 2007 with our Holiday Inn French Quarter location. Since then we have expanded into four different sites off campus and two in-house vocational programs.

About the Vocational Program

We currently work with the Holiday Inn French Quarter in Perrysburg, Ohio, Goodwill Industries in Toledo, Ohio, the Humane Society in Toledo, Ohio, and will soon be starting at St. Charles Hospital in Toledo, Ohio.

The Autism Academy of Learning's vocational program is intended to be twofold:

1)provide tangible work experience as well as meaningful and enriching social interaction that is both age and developmentally appropriate within a supportive environment

2) provide meaningful and enriching contact with the community by increasing community awareness and support for individuals with Autism
