Nearing the end of high school is one of the most challenging and important transitions a student will face — deciding whether to pursue college, work or trade school can feel overwhelming for any young adult. For students served by the regional center, the path can look a little different, but it doesn’t have to be less clear. Knowing what supports are available, both through vendored service providers and other community resources, can give you an advantage in achieving your desired outcomes and shaping the life you want to live, work and belong in.
Lanterman Regional Center offers a variety of supports for students transitioning out of high school, including:
- Employment Services – Every adult has the right to seek and hold a job, regardless of ability.
- Adult Day Services – Community-based programs offering a meaningful daily routine.
- Coordinated Family Support (CFS) – Flexible services for adults 18+ choosing to live in their family home.
- Living Options/Housing Supports – Guidance to help you make informed choices about where you live.
- Independent & Supported Living Services (ILS/SLS) – Training and support towards living independently.
- Social & Recreational Activities – Opportunities for real community connection.
- Additional Supports – Advocacy, Assistive Technology, Behavioral Services, CalABLE, Crisis Support, Parenting Skills, Transportation and more.
