Get Started
Let’s find the right path forward for your young adult.
We begin with a simple conversation to understand your goals and determine the best program fit.
A Supportive First Step
Choosing the right program is an important decision, and we’re here to make that process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
At Coastal Connections, we take the time to learn about each individual—because every young adult has unique strengths, goals, and needs.
Our goal is to guide you toward the program that will provide the most meaningful support and growth.
Who Should Get Started
This is a great first step if you are:
A parent or caregiver exploring support options
Looking for help building independence and life skills
Interested in social development and community engagement
Unsure which program (S.H.I.N.E., W.A.V.E., or T.H.R.I.V.E.) is the best fit
Exploring Self-Determination Program (SDP) or private pay options
Our Simple Process
Step 1:
Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation to learn about your young adult’s goals, strengths, and areas of support.
Step 2:
Participant Introduction
When appropriate, we schedule a time to meet the participant and ensure the program feels like a comfortable fit.
Step 3:
Program Recommendation
Based on what we learn, we recommend the program that best supports your young adult’s development.
Step 4:
Enrollment & Scheduling
Once everything feels aligned, we move forward with enrollment and scheduling.
Not Sure Which Program Is Right?
That’s completely okay—many families aren’t sure where to start.
We’ll help guide you based on your young adult’s needs:
S.H.I.N.E. → One-on-one support for independence and life skills
W.A.V.E. → Small group outings for real-world experience
T.H.R.I.V.E. → Structured social skills and relationship-building
Our goal is to make sure your young adult is placed where they will feel comfortable, supported, and able to grow.
