CNP Transitioning services

In New Jersey, transition planning ideally begins at age 16 and continues through age 21 when full DDD adult services begin. The earlier you start, the smoother the process. CNP is here to help your family get ahead of every deadline and requirement.

We work directly with families to navigate the paperwork, applications, and decisions involved in transitioning to adult services, including:

• DDD Eligibility Applications — guiding families through the full or short application process
• SSI & Medicaid Applications — helping secure benefits at age 18 to establish Medicaid eligibility before services begin at 21
• IEP Transition Planning — helping families understand and advocate for transition goals within the school's IEP process
• Support Coordination Agency Selection — helping families choose the right agency to manage their loved one's adult services
• Individualized Service Plan (ISP) Development — supporting families in building a strong service plan before graduation
• Guardianship Preparation — assisting with the legal steps families need to take as their child approaches adulthood

Our Transitioning Services work hand in hand with our Support Brokerage program. Once your loved one is enrolled in the DDD system, CNP can continue supporting your family with ongoing documentation, advocacy, and service management.
