We are thrilled to share some big news about what’s next for SMILE Biscotti and our son Matt.
Together with the AZ Autism Charter School’s Essential Piece Entrepreneurial Program, we’re creating more work experiences for adults with autism and adding more dimensions to the SMILE acronym – Supporting My Independent Living Enterprise.
Matt graduates from high school and with the help of his parents start SMILE – Supporting My Independent Living Enterprise, with the goal of helping Matt and others impacted by Autism, make advancements in life skills development, social connections and create pathways toward greater independence.
PBS News Hour features Matt and his parents in their TV special, “How Phoenix became the most autism-friendly city in the world“.
With Waymo, Matt can get around Phoenix independently without relying on any other person to drive him. Learn more.
SMILE Biscotti is transitioning and expanding!
New workforce experiences will be available for young adults with autism this summer and fall through blending SMILE Biscotti, a private entrepreneurial venture, with Essential Piece Enterprise, a new sister entity of Arizona Autism Charter Schools.
