Can I get extra help moving from a highly restrictive setting into a more independent community living situation?

SCDD Description

Intensive Transition Services provide a team of trained professionals to help people with complex support needs safely move from a highly restrictive setting to a less restrictive community setting, or remain in the community when they are at high risk of being placed in a more restrictive setting.

DDS Description

An intensive transition services provider is an agency with qualified staff that helps individuals with complex needs move to, or remain in, less restrictive community settings. Services include assessment, planning, training, and ongoing support for individuals, families, and care teams, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of at least three professionals.

Example

You are preparing to move from a locked or highly structured residential setting into a community home. A transition team helps assess risks, create a person-centered plan, train your support team, and provide extra help before and during the move.
