The Community Autism Peer Specialist (CAPS) program is a community-based behavioral health service for individuals on the Autism Spectrum that employs a team of trained CAPS. Participants in the program receive services from a CAPS professional who is also on the Spectrum and has received state-approved CAPS training. The CAPS professional delivers peer support using their own lived experiences in navigating life as an individual on the Spectrum as well as their knowledge of wellness tools to provide guidance, mentoring, and support services to their peer in achieving their chosen goals in areas like living, learning, working and socializing. A CAPS offers unique support through the connection, empathy, and understanding of a shared experience living on the Spectrum. They offer encouragement, information, and are a safe and trusted person that helps their peer create and achieve their own plans for wellbeing.
