An Apartment Building For Neurodiverse Adults is Coming to This NJ Town

Once a child who is neurodiverse ages out of the school system, parents often worry about how best they can support them in their adult years.

Karen Fluharty, a global retail real estate executive, faced that with her own son Ryan, who is now 23, and so she formed Parents With a Plan, an organization to create best practices solutions for neurodiverse young adults. Part of her mission was to provide social and educational programs for when they turn 21, and now a new neuro-inclusive apartment building will bring them one step closer to independence.
