Why Bee THRIVE exists

FAQ
Bee THRIVE FAQ
What is Bee THRIVE?
Bee THRIVE is the Accessible Hive pathway for transition planning, adult independence, employment, housing, self advocacy, and community participation.
When should transition planning begin?
Formal transition planning often begins during the teen years, but the foundations can start much earlier through communication, choice making, self care, routines, and life skills.
Does adulthood always mean living independently?
No. Independence looks different for every person. The goal is choice, safety, participation, dignity, and the right level of support.
What skills matter most for adulthood?
Helpful skills include communication, self advocacy, daily living, regulation, executive functioning, community safety, money skills, health routines, and vocational skills.
What if my child may always need support?
Needing support does not mean a person cannot thrive. Bee THRIVE focuses on building as much independence, participation, choice, and dignity as possible while honoring support needs.
Is employment the only goal?
No. A meaningful adult life can include employment, volunteering, education, hobbies, relationships, recreation, faith communities, family life, and community belonging.
What is self advocacy?
Self advocacy means knowing your needs, expressing preferences, asking for help, making choices, requesting accommodations, and participating in decisions that affect your life.
What does community participation mean?
Community participation means being involved outside the home through recreation, volunteering, classes, social groups, clubs, work, or local activities.
The goal is not doing everything alone.
