3LPlace is building exciting opportunities and a warm, diverse community for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities, across the lifespan. At the center of our community is the 3LPlace Life College, our unique post-secondary residential transition learning experience in Somerville, Massachusetts. The year-round program, located near vibrant Davis Square, welcomes young adults ages 22 to 32 with a mix of developmental disabilities. Potential members might be living with autism, or Down’s syndrome, or another diagnosis. What they all have in common is their readiness to explore a path to a meaningful, gratifying, healthy and connected adult life, within the community. 3LPlace’s vision is that a successful transition to adulthood begins with a thorough understanding of each individual, particularly about their interests and passions in life. We believe that those personal interests can be harnessed to accelerate the development of self-direction, independence skills, friendships and social behavior.
