Transition Services
Everyone will experience difficulty during abrupt changes faced when moving from one stage in life to another. West Virginians living with any kind of disability may find these changes amplified by a physical / cognitive impairment combined with a lack of support. Whether transitioning to higher learning, from school to the workplace, or from assisted-living facilities back into the home – LiveAbility can help ease the impact those changes have on your day-to-day life.
