What facilities are available for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities who need to build skills to overcome specific personal challenges (e.g. aggressive behaviors, elopement, theft, etc. ) to live successfully in the broader community?
In Washington State, we have Habilitation Centers, which are 24hr residential communities which provide continuous formal and informal teaching until the individual is ready to transition back into the broader community.

Thank you! Are these autism schools/colleges 24hr residential teaching facilities? I'm an administrator at a habilitation center in Washington State, and I'm seeking to connect with others who work in similar facilities for knowledge sharing.
Ok, great! I'm looking for UK counterparts. So thanks for the lead about residential colleges for children with the autism and severe learning disabilities. I'll reach out to these institutions.
If you happen to learn of UK facilities that specifically support adults with severe learning disabilities to overcome personal barriers to community living, please let me know.
