Solid Roots

Transitions programs including youth, nursing home and jail

-Nursing Home Transitions

It’s Your Life, Get It Back!

The Disabled Resource Services Transition Program provides direct services for individuals who are looking to get out of nursing facilities and back into their own homes.

The program works with each individual so they can resume their life and be independent.

When individuals work with Disabled Resource Services, we find out about their needs and goals. We will then work together to find the ways to get them there.

It can be a challenge to find out and navigate the vast array of local, Colorado and Federal-based services and resources for individuals. Disabled Resource Services can help you find the services you need!

-Youth Transitions

Empowering Youth with Disabilities to Achieve Independence

Disabled Resource Services (DRS) offers Youth Services via its “Access to Independence” program. Youth Services is designed to empower youth with disabilities, from 14 to 24, as they navigate the transition from adolescence to adulthood. This program includes:

Information and Referral – providing community resource and referral to access various community services.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Education/Self Advocacy – many youth in the community may not be informed on this Federal legislation and how it may impact a student’s transition to higher education or employment. DRS provides ADA workshops for parents and youth.
Independent Living Skills – are individually designed to improve or maintain the ability of the youth to live as independently as possible in the community. These skills can include learning bus routes, time management, budgeting skills, etc.
Employment Readiness – in conjunction with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (if applicable), provides guidance with writing resumes, cover letters, disclosing a disability, asking for reasonable accommodation and interview skills.
Social Security Application – provides guidance in completing the initial application process.

-Jail Transitions

It’s Your Life, Get It Back!

DRS has partnered with the courts, jails, and the Bridges program to help people who are transitioning out of the court systems and back into society.
