The good news is that there’s affordable and accessible transportation available for people with disabilities.
Read on to learn about transportation options that work for you and your child.
Yael, an adorable young girl with an ASD diagnosis, was miserable in her school. She felt misunderstood and lost in her small self-contained classroom. The adults in her life called her “behavioral”, but Yael simply didn’t have the tools to communicate well. Ezreinu guided her family and helped them find an excellent program which focused on language. Yael is finally able to communicate in an appropriate way, and she is thriving in her new environment.
Sruly had developed into quite an independent and capable young man despite his developmental delay and physical disability, and he felt ready to move on from the day hab program which he had attended for the past few years. There was one problem, though - no prospective employer was willing to take him on. Ezreinu put Sruly in touch with the right contact who could help him follow his dream and achieve employment.
After much deliberation and research, Mr. Krauss decided to switch over his son’s services to Self-Direction. After the agency helped him complete the process, he ran into another roadblock: they had no available Self-Direction brokers to work with him. Ezreinu helped Mr. Krauss find a Self-Direction broker so that he could maximize his son’s services.
