At Family Partnerships of Connecticut, our services are designed with one goal in mind: to meet people where they are and support them in living meaningful, self-directed lives. We believe in honoring each person’s journey, challenges, and goals by building a circle of support that is both comprehensive and compassionate.

We offer a broad range of services designed to enhance independence, dignity, and connection–for individuals, families, caregivers, and teams. Whether someone needs in-home support, help navigating transitions, or guidance for the future, our staff works closely with each person to build a plan that works for them–not the other way around.

Our Support Services

Consultations with Agencies, School Systems, and Families

We offer expert consultations to schools, agencies, and families to build sustainable, person-centered support plans that promote inclusion and growth.

Education and Community Inclusion

Our team helps individuals access inclusive education and engage with their communities in ways that are meaningful and fulfilling.

Advocacy

We empower individuals and families to advocate for their rights, services, and choices–whether in school meetings, public systems, or day-to-day life.

Coordinating Access to Community Resources

Navigating complex systems can be overwhelming. We help connect individuals with housing, transportation, health care, and social support in their communities.

Behavioral Management Consultations

With compassion and respect, we help families and providers manage challenging behaviors and create structured environments for success.

Facilitating Futures Planning

We assist in developing long-term plans for independence, safety, well-being, and meaningful daily life–including housing, employment, and care coordination.

Transitional Planning Assistance

We guide young adults and their families through transitions from school to adult services, helping create clear, person-focused paths forward.

Family Supports

We offer coaching and support to parents and caregivers navigating the complexities of supporting a loved one with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Because disability affects the whole family, we support siblings and caregivers in processing emotions, building communication skills, and fostering resilience.

Team Building

We work with families, educators, and support staff to create cohesive, effective support teams that operate with shared purpose and understanding.

Staff Training

Our training equips direct support professionals, educators, and agencies with the tools and insight to deliver consistent, person-centered care.

Vocational Assessment and Placement

We help individuals identify interests, strengths, and employment goals–then support them in securing meaningful work in inclusive environments.

Job Training

From on-the-job coaching to workplace skill-building, we help individuals gain the confidence and ability to succeed at work.

Person-Centered Planning

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that people should be the authors of their own lives. We work with each person to build a plan that reflects their voice, vision, and values.

In-Home Support

We provide respectful, individualized assistance within the home, supporting daily routines and goals. We provide temporary relief to caregivers, offering trusted, compassionate care while giving families time to rest and recharge.
