Beacon Transitions

Located 15 minutes south of Asheville, North Carolina, Beacon Transitions is an independently owned and operated residential facility that specializes in working with young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)- 1, or "High-Functioning Autism", and other learning disabilities, striving to live a life of complete independence. All of our residents have come to us with emerging skills in all areas of independence but need coaching and guidance from a support system that can help them become fully engaged. Beacon is intended to be the last residential program our clients attend. Through fully assimilating LifeTutors of Asheville into our program, Beacon is able to ensure our clients can transition from assessment and intervention programs like Wilderness Therapy and inpatient hospitalizations to living entirely independently, often within 12 months. We qualify results by creating a vision for success with each resident upon intake and helping them determine which path they take to get there, generally either Educational or Vocational. Our residents all attend either community college, a four-year university, or trade school during their time at Beacon. Upon exit, they are either gainfully employed, or pursuing a degree with all of the supports needed to be successful in achieving their goals. Beacon's model works best with the following Client profiles: * Primary Diagnosis of Autism Level One * ADHD * Non-Verbal Learning Disability * Executive Functioning Deficits * Dyslexia and Dysgraphia * Depression * Anxiety
