Schedule Collaboration DiscussionWhat This Service Is
Day Habilitation is a person-centered service that may help members build the skills and confidence needed for greater independence — in employment, education, and everyday life. Rather than focusing on one narrow goal, a Day Habilitation appointment starts with a conversation about the member's own priorities, and builds a plan around them.
United And Guided provides Day Habilitation as a nonclinical, community-based service. It does not replace vocational rehabilitation, clinical assessment, or licensed treatment services; when specialized support is needed, the team may help connect members with appropriately qualified providers.

-
Inquiry or referral. You schedule an appointment directly, or a provider or partner submits a referral on your behalf.
-
Needs and goals review. The United And Guided team talks with you about your priorities, strengths, and current situation.

Initial appointment. You meet with a team member in person or virtually to talk through your goals in more detail.

Provider and Community Partner Collaboration
Managed care plans, county agencies, schools, correctional and reentry partners, employers, and community-based organizations may refer members who could benefit from Day Habilitation, and may coordinate directly with United And Guided's team on shared members.
Providers may submit a standard referral through the Refer a Member form, or coordinate a warm handoff — a direct, real-time introduction between the referring partner, the member, and the United And Guided team — when a more immediate connection would better support the member's transition into service.
