Transitions Centers, Inc. is a non-profit organization located on Cape Cod in South Yarmouth, MA.
Vision
"My vision is to see all individuals that walk that line between challenged and typically achieving succeed and live beyond what may be in assessments. Although I believe that research is vital to all types of disabilities--in finding causes, treatment options and possible cures, I strongly believe that if we concentrate too heavily on "how did this happen" or "how can we overcome this", we lose sight of the miracle that is happening right now. If I look at where someone is on the autism spectrum, yes I see social challenges, anxiety, and rigid thinking, but mostly I see honesty, devotion, someone that is very articulate, always encouraging me to communicate in a clear, concise manner. If I look at someone with cognitive challenges, yes, I see someone that has struggled with academic work, struggled finding good friends, and has been humbled by asking for a repetition of directions, but mostly I see someone with such wisdom, such insight into people, and such an ability to see the humor in life, always encouraging me to see the day-to-day joys of life. When I see someone struggling with mental health issues, yes, I see depression, anxiety so intense it impairs everyday functioning, constant interruption of sleep cycles, but mostly I see someone who is more compassionate, more accepting, and more honest with themselves in many ways than a person without those challenges, always encouraging me to "walk in the other person's shoes" first. My vision is to see folks seeing their challenges as smaller and their belief in who they really are grow-- that is the miracle."
