About Us

COME AS YOU ARE

At CAYA, we believe every person deserves a life they are proud of, one built on their own terms, grounded in dignity, and full of possibility. We walk alongside neurodivergent adults as they navigate the transition to adulthood and beyond. In Hampton Roads, structured support for this population is limited, and CAYA exists to fill that gap. Our programs take the big, complex challenges of adult life, finding work, managing finances, living independently, and break them down into clear, manageable steps that meet people where they are.

Whatever the goal, personal or professional, we are here to help make it possible.

Meet The Founder

Jenny was inspired to create Caya out of a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the world. She recognized the unique challenges that autistic adults face, particularly in achieving independence and finding employment that aligns with their goals. Her commitment to empowering individuals with autism through life and job skills training is driven by her belief in their potential to excel and lead fulfilling lives. This belief is the cornerstone of Caya’s mission to provide comprehensive support that nurtures the talents of autistic adults, enabling them to live independently and be gainfully employed in a way that resonates with their personal aspirations.
