Moving Forward Towards Independence

Our program is based on residents’ progress through three tiers of graduated support.

Our program meets with new residents and their families and places them in a support tier that matches their experience with independent living. Our program is flexible and considers the needs and wishes of each resident and family.

Tier 1. Transitional Living in a home environment

Tier 2. Transitional Living in a near-campus apartment

Tier 3. Off-Campus Community Living

Working creates a life with meaning

We hear from families that residents’ happiness and confidence surge when they land a job. "It’s all about the job," they say.

We think that’s true.

We are always looking for opportunities for our residents to learn to make a difference in the world. Volunteer opportunities are a great way for those who’ve never had a job, want to add more experience to their resume or who want to try another job to explore careers.

Moving Forward provides the Case Management services needed to integrate all other services, whether provided by Moving Forward or a specialist or agency outside our program.

Parts of our process include: *Individualized plan *Employment services *Community integration *Organized social skills practice *Structured classes *The Family Association
