Eligibility

Families and districts we partner with

Students are typically referred by families, school districts, Child Study Teams, or state vocational rehabilitation counselors. We work with students on IEPs, students aging out of high school, and adults seeking vocational training and supported employment. Placement decisions center on interest and readiness for authentic work — never on diagnosis alone.
