During this one hour monthly session, you will discuss any difficulties you may be having within any environments, you will discuss a variety a transitional supports, you will be trained on how to use transactional supports within a variety of environments and you will set goals for yourself. Each month you and your therapist will develop three goals for you (and/or the entire family) to work on for the month. The therapist will design a daily charting system to be completed daily to track progress as well as to analyze what is working and what is not working. At your monthly meeting you will go over these goals and make any adjustments. ** There is no deposit for this program**
