Established in 1997 as a separate unit of the DDDC, the Douglass Adult Program provides employment and related day services to adults with autism. A major programmatic focus of the Douglass Adult Program is on traiing the skills necessary for life in the community. Utilizing an ABA model of skill development, the DAP endeavors to promote learning and work environments that recognize and support individual competencies, encourages skill development, minimize the need for display of problematic behavior, and respect, to whatever extent possible, appropriate consumer choice and control.

Members of the Douglass Adult Program staff include administrators, behavior analysts, coordinators, team leaders, a school nurse, teaching assistants/job coaches, clinical psychologists, and office personnel. Most of the administrators and supervisors are Board Certified Behavior Analysts(BCBAs) and several members of the instructional staff are taking certification classes.
