Funding Options for Life Skills Programs in Oakland

We offer Oakland, CA families several flexible ways to access our one on one life skills programs, including state funded options and private payment plans.

Self-Determination Program (SDP)

The Self Determination Program SDP is an alternative to standard Regional Center services that allows individuals and families greater flexibility and decision making authority over their supports. Participants are provided with an individualized budget and can choose service providers that best align with their goals and priorities.

Our one on one life skills tutors and coaches deliver services that follow SDP guidelines and may be funded through a participant’s Self Determination budget when aligned with IPP objectives, including independent living skills, community involvement, self advocacy, and personal growth. Many families in Oakland include our services as part of their customized SDP plans.

School District & IEP Funding

Oakland school districts may fund life skills tutoring for students with IEPs who require additional community based learning or transition support. This option typically serves teens and young adults ages 14 to 22 who need more support than what is offered within the school setting.

Private Pay

Private pay services are available for families in Oakland, CA who prefer direct enrollment. This option is suitable for families awaiting SDP authorization, without school district funding, or seeking supplemental weekly support. Session schedules and lengths can be customized to fit individual goals.
