Family Consultations

Our personalized consultations are designed to provide your family with an actionable plan for helping your teen or young adult achieve independence. Each plan will include a step-by-step guide to helping your family member build the skills and gather the resources needed to flourish on their own.

Who can receive a one-on-one consultation? Expand

One-on-one consultations are ideal for families of students with developmental disabilities who are currently in high school or a transition program and may one day live independently.

Why should I receive a one-on-one consultation? Expand

Our one-on-one family consultations have been carefully designed to help families:

  • understand the skills and resources needed for young adults to live independently,
  • begin taking steps now to help their family members achieve independence, and
  • feel comfortable with the idea of independence.

If this describes what you're seeking for your family, our one-on-one consultation may be right for you!

How much does a one-on-one consultation cost? Expand

Our one-on-one family consultations cost $150 and include:

  • a 60-minute orientation session to help us get to know your student + family,
  • a 90-minute planning session to draft your personalized, actionable plan, and
  • a 30-minute check-in session to provide implementation support.

Sessions can take place in-person or virtually.

Want to help make a difference?

It costs nearly $10,000 each year to provide one member with the independent living support they need. And while membership fees cover a portion of those costs, up to $6,000 per member is funded by generous gifts from our individual, corporate and foundation partners.
