LTO Ventures is a Boerne, Texas-based nonprofit organization that develops residential, employment, educational, and social engagement options for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Its approach combines person-centered living arrangements with a continuum of services within a planned, community-based model designed to be compatible with Olmstead principles, and it also pursues consulting and project management work to help other organizations build similar programs. The organization aims to create live, work, and play environments that support independence while leveraging partnerships, donations, and volunteers to sustain its operations without relying on government or insurance funds. A notable component of its work is the Autism Entrepreneurs Center, which provides ASD adults with guidance and resources to start and manage for-profit or non-profit ventures, along with potential collaborations between ASD and typical adults in an incubator-like setting. Based in Boerne, the organization emphasizes a living-learning-social ecosystem inspired by senior living, college campuses, and mixed-use communities, seeking to advance innovative residential options for adults with IDD. Recent efforts include advancing its live, work, and play community model and expanding its consulting services to assist other organizations in developing similar programs.
