Strategic Transition Training (S.T.T.)
A program for Adults and Young Adults with Disabilities
Our Strategic Transition Training (S.T.T.) program equips teens and young adults with the self-advocacy and self-sufficiency skills they need to gain independence and thrive. It focuses on what happens when high school is over and is tailored to the unique and individual needs of each of our candidates. The skills taught and practiced in our S.T.T. program foster independence and critical thinking. Our transition candidates learn to advocate for themselves and build their self-help skills. They learn to motivate themselves to change their own behavior and develop those specific skills that can bring about independence. With S.T.T., our goal is for every candidate to achieve independence in line with their same-age peers.
“What do I do?”
“How do I know to do it?”
By learning to ask themselves these two critical questions, our candidates take the first steps toward developing and sustaining independence. They focus both on the “how” to complete a task and, more importantly, the “why” and “when” a task needs to be completed in the first place.
The Training Modules
To ensure rigorous skill-development and behavior change, individuals participate in five major training modules. Each category focuses on a subset of skills required to achieve maximum independence and is uniquely tailored to the individual.
IEP Goals
We take an in-depth look at your academic career, and help you determine which elements of your education worked well for you and which did not.
By presenting familiar tasks and activities, we assess how you respond to the environment which has shaped your learning behaviors and expectations from the last 12 years.
B.E.T.H. Math
We help you learn how to budget and save for the things that you need and want.
Focuses on current needs of the candidate. We analyze the math you need, and the math you don’t, in your specific environment. This tells us what you need to learn to function independently.
Food Science & Food Prep
We teach you how to cook the things you like to eat, safely and independently.
By understanding what is healthy and unhealthy we learn how to make good choices for ourselves.
B.E.T.H. Writing
We help you hone your communication skills and refine your listening and interpretation skills.
This course will allow candidates to critically analyze the print materials that are most relevant to them right now. By understanding and interpreting our written environment we can prepare to excel in a demanding world.
B.E.T.H. Living
Learn how to maintain a clean and healthy living space.
Focuses on combining all skills required by candidates throughout the day and teaching how to use them. We will focus on teaching how to operate in their current environment and make the necessary behavioral changes.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
Working with B.E.T.H. means having a team that is dedicated to helping you make a positive and lasting change. Read what our clients have to say about their experience.
“I decided to give B.E.T.H. a try and that was the best decision I could have ever made for my son. He is now 12 years old and I do not know where we would be today had I not given B.E.T.H. a try.”
"You may not even know you need it yet, but B.E.T.H. will show you what the possibilities for hope are and you will be able to achieve those goals that you had long ago."
"We overcome so many tasks with our son, from becoming more independent learning how to tie his shoes, make his bed, shower himself to tolerating his younger sister just talking. All those little things the everyday average person takes for granted."
"They aren't afraid to tackle any issue any child has. They are flexible with their schedule. Staff is amazing, everyone is so caring and dedicated."
"This has been an amazing experience for our daughter and our family. She has really progressed in the time she has been with B.E.T.H."
"They were by my side every step of the way, helping me navigate the school system, creating a custom, data-driven plan that allowed my daughter to successfully transition from daily meltdowns, [...] building confidence through accomplishment."
"We have been through several services including the public and private school systems. None have provided the personal attention that we have received with BETH."
