How It Works
We learn about the participant’s goals, interests, strengths, and support needs.
We develop practical and measurable skill-building goals connected to the participant’s person-centered plan, IPP, and Self-Determination spending plan.
Services may take place at home, at college, at work, or in the community.
We document services, measure progress, and adjust strategies as the participant grows.
