TERI Common Grounds is part of a larger mission at TERI Campus of Life: creating more possibilities for individuals with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Every parent wonders about their child's future.
Will they make friends? Find independence? Discover belonging, purpose, and joy?
At TERI Campus of Life, what begins as a question about the future becomes the wonder of what else is possible.
Through extraordinary people, programs across the lifespan, and a community where everyone belongs, individuals with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities – and their families – discover possibilities they once only imagined.
This is Wonder Made Possible.
See their stories of wonder and join us in making more wonder possible.
