Core Services

Transition

There are three components to LIFE’s transition services. We:

  • Help people with significant disabilities transition from nursing homes and other institutions to home and community-based residences. This includes providing necessary support and services.
  • Provide support to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community.
  • Aid the transition of young people with significant disabilities who were eligible for individualized education programs under section 614(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and who have completed their secondary education or otherwise left school, to post-secondary life.

“Significant disabilities” refers to anything that impacts one or more life functions,
such as mobility, comprehension and more.

Peer Support

Peer Supporters are people with disabilities who share similar experiences with others with disabilities. Trained peer supporters help bring about change by sharing experiences in a broad spectrum of situations. They do not, however, provide professional, medical, financial or legal advice.
