North Texas Autism Community Seeks Its First Trainees

29 Acres Transition Academy (29 Acres)—a $12 million project for adults with autism—will be opening later this month. The facility will help individuals with autism who are 18 and older to locate career and housing opportunities if they have completed high school.

Those who meet the criteria of the academy will be able to submit an application for the trainings, which are slotted to begin this . . .
