About LTO Ventures
LTO Ventures is a 501(c)(3) non-profit company that develops live / work / play communities for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
Our intentional community model combines a continuum of “person-centered” residential, employment and social-recreational options suited to the needs and desires of each individual within a master-planned, community-based, Olmstead-compatible campus.
LTO Ventures’ model combines the best design, financial and operational elements of senior living, gated residential and master-planned communities, as well as college campuses, and mixed-use live-work environments. The design model is enhanced by best practices developed from research into supportive and sustainable residential options for adults with ASD. The financial model will eschew government and insurance funds and be self-sustaining through partnerships with for-profit businesses, donations, investments, grants and volunteers.
Our Autism Entrepreneurs Center gives ASD adults the specific guidance, tools and resources they need to create, launch and run their own real for-profit or non-profit companies. We also hope to create two affiliated opportunities: 1) use the guidance to create partnerships between ASD adults and typical adults to jointly launch and run businesses; and, 2) to encourage these businesses to work collaboratively to share resources and foster other business development through the creation of a business incubator specifically designed to support ASD adults.

If you thought this was common sense, think again (via www.lostandtired.com)
It always amazes me how much misinformation is floating around about Autism. In my opinion, Autism is by far one of the most misunderstood disorders. I’m absolutely floored by some of the things that people think/assume about kids with Autism. The…
