College of Adaptive Arts

This is where we teach students skills they need to transform themselves, others, and our global communities.

We built the college we couldn’t find.

CAA was built because families like ours had nowhere else to turn. Now it belongs to all of us.

Families of adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities(IDD) know the gap firsthand: after 22, options are scarce and dignity is too often denied. We were in your shoes, and we refused to accept that. CAA is a place where your student can be seen as a learner, an artist and a leader. By joining CAA, you’re not just enrolling in classes. You’re stepping into a movement that insists learning never ends and that your loved one deserves more than the traditional system has provided.

When students have purpose, families regain balance. Parents might have the space to return to work or time for more self-care. Siblings feel the impact in the shift as well. Entire households rediscover joy.
