Our Values

You’re in Charge

Promote Autonomy

Self-Determination is all about having the power to make your own decisions. We believe that everyone should be able to make choices about how they live their life. Our job is to help give you the tools to take some of that power back.

Gain Tools & Skills

Educate & Empower

Knowledge is power. We want you to leave every meeting knowing and understanding more about Self-Determination. If one day you find you don’t need our help anymore, we consider that a job well done. But we’ll always be here to help if you need it.

Make it Your Own

Personalize

This is about your journey. Whether it’s about how we create your person-centered plan, how we conduct our meetings, or what you want to learn, you get to decide how you want to do this.

Testimonials

“I have learned a lot from them and they are truly amazing. The way Yadir has helped us navigate through hurdles. I could not imagine anyone else could have. Yadir has both knowledge and patience to help clients like us who are new to the SDP plan.“

Mother of an SDP Participant

“Last fall we were looking for an IF to help us transition to SDP and we got a referral for Yadir from one of the families.

At our very first meeting, we were impressed with their knowledge of SDP and the whole transition process. SDP can be a very confusing process, with a steep learning curve, especially for families who are already dealing with the challenges of special needs. But Yadir made it easy for us by breaking down the process into manageable steps. They are very professional and extremely organized with their work. Given their vast experience, they are adept at anticipating roadblocks and is able to navigate through the various kinks in the process in a smooth and efficient manner. “

Parents of an SDP Participant

“They realize the challenges that special needs families face, and goes above and beyond what is expected of them as an IF. Yadir was a huge advocate for our son throughout the SDP process and we felt confident mainly because of their guidance and support. What truly impressed us was the personal touch they bring to every meeting and their hard work in making sure that our son is able to access resources that would give him the best possible opportunity for his personal growth and success. And all this was done with an abundance of patience and a smile. We are truly thankful to Yadir for all their help, and for making this a very comfortable and positive experience for us. I know we would hire them again in a heartbeat if the need arises. “

* Regional Centers have money set aside to support your transition to Self-Determination. These funds are generally available one time, so if you have already spent them, you may need to pay out of pocket for additional support. Talk to your coordinator or book a consultation call for more information.

** If you are paying out of pocket we can discuss rates and alternative arrangements to suit your needs
