Reviewed by people in this role
The India Autism Center, based in Kolkata, is building something rare in India: support designed for the whole lifespan, including the adult years that most services ignore.
What they're developing
- A residential campus model for adults.
- Vocational and life-skills training.
- Family guidance and emotional-wellbeing programmes.
- Research that feeds back into practice.
As an emerging model, it's especially relevant for families thinking past childhood — about independence, work, and where an autistic adult can genuinely belong.
Confirm current programmes and availability with IAC (indiaautismcenter.org) before planning around them.
