EP 110: How Rachelle Vartanian Is Helping Autistic Adults Find Their Dream Jobs

On this episode, Stacy and Torrin are joined by Rachelle Vartanian to talk about the services available to adults with autism. Rachelle is the founder of the Living and Learning Enrichment Center in Northville, Michigan. There, they offer job skills training, support groups, and social programs tailored for autistic teens and young adults. Rachelle, an autism parent herself, was inspired to found her center after noticing the lack of supports accessible to her autistic son. We spoke about the LLEC's mission, the services they offer, and Rachelle's vision for the future. We also touched on Rachelle's journey as an autism parent.
