Autism is defined by the presence of difficulties in three
areas: social deficits; communication problems; and Social Deficits
repetitive or restricted behaviors with an onset in at least
one area by age three.
It is estimated that one in every 110 children is diagnosed
with autism (and one in every 70 boys), making it more
Repetitive Communication
common than childhood cancer; juvenile diabetes; and Behavior Problems
pediatric AIDS combined. An estimated 1.5 million
individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide
are affected by autism.

The Spectrum
Each individual with autism is unique. About 40
percent have average to above average intellectual
abilities. Indeed, many persons on the spectrum take
deserved pride in their distinctive abilities and “atypical”
ways of viewing the world. Others with autism have
significant disability and are unable to live independently.
About 25 percent of individuals with ASD are nonverbal
but can learn to communicate using other means. For
some, this means the development and delivery of more
effective treatments that can address significant
challenges in communication and physical health. For
others, it means increasing acceptance, respect and
support.

Current Federal Initiatives
Federal Health Care Reform
The implementation of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act could have profound
implications on autism insurance reform and laws passed by a majority of states. Autism Speaks is
closely monitoring the regulatory framework being created by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2011
Autism Speaks is supporting the ABLE Act which would allow the creation of tax-free 529
accounts for individuals with disabilities, including autism, to save for their future needs without
losing access to other resources.

Normalization and the Silverado Story
The principle of normalization aims to refute the idea that people who have disabilities should be kept
separate from society. Putting people with “their own kind” detracts from individuality and dignity.
Based on these principles, Silverado Senior Living has created many programs and standards which
aim to provide every resident with dignity and respect.
Allowing pets and children, welcoming family, and frequent interactions with the community through
our service clubs are a few ways we create a warm home-like environment for our residents.

Impact Oasis (TRAIL)
Impact OASIS is proposing to create a Transitional Residential/Adult Independent Learning
(TRAIL) Center that will provide young adults with autism a unique experience parallel to their
non-disabled peers once they graduate from high school.
After High School most young adults have a first opportunity to live on their own. Some go on to
college; others may get a job and an apartment. Both begin to learn how to manage their own lives
more independently; from ensuring there’s food in their homes to learning how to manage their
time and take on adult role responsibilities such as work, continuing education or other type of
community role.The OASIS TRAIL Center will provide the following services to assist in
facilitating the transition from the role of student to that of an adult for those served:
Residential/Habilitation services/Vocational services/Recreational/Respite services/
Continuing education (focus will be on language comprehension and usage and social skills
training)

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative
(and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid
plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All
sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole
stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of
unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have
dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
