The Fulshear campus has a clinic that helps children with autism and a facility for adult services, which become scarce after these individuals graduate from high school, Texana Center Senior Manager Beth Duncan said.
Texana Cafe is meant to be a place for individuals to obtain basic job skills, such as timeliness, appropriate dress, and interactions with others, Duncan said. As paid interns, they also learn to advocate for themselves in work-based environments, she said.
“We realize a lot of people who have developmental disabilities and autism, once they’re out of school, there’s very little available to them to help them continue
to learn to be independent and be employed,” she said.
