Life Span Transition
Life Span Transition Services
Feeling lost as you’re approaching major life changes like graduating from high school or moving out of the family home? Or are you wondering why you’ve faced so many challenges in relationships and work, and are you considering that you may be autistic later in life? Maybe you received that official diagnosis and are attempting to learn a new normal as a person with a disability. We’re here to help navigate all the transitions that life can bring when living a life different than what you imagined.
The Alpine Square Team assists people across the life span and their support systems to maneuver through the complex maze of public benefits in light of your changing reality. We have resources to assist with initial testing if you are looking for a medical diagnosis, access to financial support for people with disabilities, and contacts within higher learning and supported employment opportunities. Let us walk alongside you in a judgment-free zone where you can adapt to the life you want to live.

People with disabilities who receive benefits may be fearful or have concerns about loss of income or access to health insurance when considering going to work, accepting a promotion, or increasing work hours. People that are learning about living life as a Person With Disabilities (PWD) may be surprised to realize how many public programs are available to support their efforts to create a fulfilling life for themselves. There are many underutilized programs that can protect or extend your benefits, and a well-prepared Benefits Summary and Analysis can uncover the options through an individualized approach.
The Alpine Square Team of certified Work Incentive Practitioners are highly skilled at gathering the data to understand where you are in life and knowledgeable in making recommendations to avail yourself of programming to support you in living the life you see for yourself. If you or a loved one are considering education, employment or a promotion, are investigating living life as a PWD, or are looking at succession planning for a loved one, reach out to the Alpine Square Team at contactus@alpinesquare.net to get the help you need making good decisions about benefits planning.
Advocacy/Referral
Advocacy/Referral Solutions
The Alpine Square Team is focused on advocacy solutions to assist people with disabilities in overcoming life’s challenges to self-determination and the qualifying factors to a happy, healthy, independent life. Our multifaceted advocacy work is directed toward stakeholders individually, communally, and institutionally to share the value of all people focused on a strengths-based worldview. Every single person has something important to give to this life and the Alpine Square Team is here to assist each individual we work with in the best position to lead their best life.
Individuals
We work directly with individuals and their families to navigate the path to independence, building structures, networks, and systems to define and move clients toward their dreams. Central to this pathway is creating a sense of belonging and strengths-based self-worth. We help people translate passions and special interests into meaningful long-term plans and goals. Then we create the support structures around housing, healthy living, and social communities to provide for stable ongoing independent living, and succession planning where needed.
Communities
The Alpine Square Team is continuously involved in outreach projects making connections for our clients. Our community organizations are the heart of our social networks and give us the “membership” we need to feel fulfilled. Our Team constantly answers requests for speaking engagements, facilitator roles, resource fairs, and networking events to build bridges for our clients to engage in activities and events where they can find bonding opportunities. Our community advocacy work strives to educate all community members on the strengths and values of each of the individuals.
GOVERNMENT & REGULATORY Institutions
Working as an intermediary between the Goliath governmental and regulatory bodies and the complementary range of support providers is the sweet spot for the Team at Alpine Square. Our daily conversations are riddled with our inclusive strengths-based mantra and the benefits of identifying and supporting the people with disabilities, their families and loved ones, and the various intersectional stakeholders who assist in creating smooth interdependences of support structures. We feel strongly that all people are doing the best they can with what they have to offer. Our goal is to bridge the gaps in helping people help themselves.
