Adult Autism Waiver (AAW)

The Adult Autism Waiver is a specialized program offered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to support adults aged 21 and older who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). At BDC Home Care, we are proud to deliver individualized services under this waiver that help participants build independence, strengthen life skills, and improve overall quality of life — all while living comfortably in their home or community.

Focused Support for Unique Needs

Adults with autism often face unique challenges related to communication, social interaction, and daily functioning. Our Adult Autism Waiver services are carefully designed to meet these needs with structure, consistency, and compassion. Whether the individual needs help with everyday living, support navigating the community, or strategies for improving communication, our team creates a nurturing environment where growth and confidence are encouraged every step of the way.

Empowering Growth and Independence

At BDC Home Care, we believe that every adult with autism has the ability to live a meaningful, independent life — with the right support. Through the AAW program, we assist individuals with skill development, behavioral support, employment coaching, and personal care. These services are delivered in a way that respects the individual’s preferences, routine, and goals. The focus is not only on managing challenges but also on unlocking strengths and building a life that reflects each person’s potential.

Individualized Planning That Evolves with You

No two individuals with autism are the same, which is why we take a highly personalized approach to every care plan. Services are developed in collaboration with the participant, their family, and support coordinators, ensuring that each goal is meaningful and achievable. As needs evolve, our services adapt — providing ongoing care that grows with the person. From developing communication skills to navigating public spaces or building daily routines, every step is supported with patience and purpose.

Compassionate Care, Meaningful Progress

Our team at BDC Home Care is dedicated to providing more than just assistance — we offer genuine care that uplifts and empowers. With the Adult Autism Waiver, we give individuals the tools, support, and guidance to live more independently, connect with others, and participate fully in life. We are honored to be part of each individual’s journey and committed to helping them reach their goals — at home, in the community, and beyond.
