Our personalized consultations are designed to answer the questions that keep you up at night and provide you with actionable next steps to help your teen or young adult achieve independence.
Consultations are designed for families of young adults with developmental disabilities who may one day live independently.
Our shorter phone consultations are best for families who have just a few questions about the skill-development process or transition to independent living. We’ll provide actionable guidance based on our decades of experience and offer connections as needed to some of the many community resources we’re connected with.
Our full consultations are best for families looking to create a concrete plan for developing independent living skills and achieving independence.
