Transition Services
Self-Representation Guardian Support
We assist families who are representing themselves in the guardianship process by providing guidance on completing required paperwork, explaining court procedures, and helping them understand each step of the process. Our goal is to equip families with the information and support they need to confidently navigate the court system.
Bridges School Transitioning
Bridges is a program to assist families and professionals in transitioning students with developmental disabilities to the world of adult services. Our Transition Outreach Specialist helps families find resources for: enrolling children on the PUNS list (Prioritization for Urgency of Need for Services), Financial/Medical benefits, Legal Resources, Program Funding (Home & Community Based), Waiver Programs, Training/Coaching, Recreational Activities, and attending Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings to ensure transition is part of the IEP.
Self-Directed Assistance
We support participants and families with support and opportunities within their home and community to increase participants’ independence. Our SDA services provide guidance with person-centered planning, budget management, service coordination, recordkeeping, and recruiting Personal Support Workers (PSWs). We use a strength-based approach to individualize everyone’s goals and preferences, empowering participants to learn and generalize independent living skills, make informed decisions, and achieve greater independence.
