How Compass works
- 1
Tell us about your loved one's life goals
We start where the system is supposed to start — with the life you want for them, not a menu of services. There are no wrong answers.
- 2
We map them to the funding programs that exist
SLS, ILS, IHSS, SDP, RDI, SSI, Medi-Cal, DOR — we untangle the alphabet soup and show you what actually applies to your loved one.
- 3
You get a personal roadmap + the language to use with SDRC
Concrete next steps, in copy-paste-able language for your next IPP meeting or service coordinator conversation. You stop guessing.
