More about Long Island Autism Communities, Inc.
Long Island Autism Communities, Inc. was founded by Charles Massimo, CEO of CJM Wealth Management and the father of two boys on the autism spectrum. Through this not-for-profit, he hopes to help address the serious housing problem facing adults with autism and their parents who worry about what will happen to their child when they can longer care for them. The organization is developing supportive, integrated communities on Long Island where adults with autism can live in specially-planned communities that afford them every opportunity to live happily, safely, able to work or volunteer if they want, and access the resources of the broader community.
The plan is to develop these communities near vibrant towns or villages where residents will have access to transportation, healthcare providers, potential employers, supermarkets, banks, retailers and various recreational and cultural offerings. An ideal location in the Village of Patchogue has been identified as the site of the first community. The vision is for the first community to include residents with autism and some without a disability, including a community director and caregivers. The homes will be designed with warm and inviting decors and accommodate the special sensory sensitivity needs of individuals with autism.
