Hours are a starting point

The hours listed for each service are typical ranges. Real authorizations flex up or down based on the IPP and what the individual actually needs.

Service transfers welcome

The right service today may not be the right service in two years. We have an internal transfer process so you can move between programs without starting over.

No cost to families

For Regional Center authorized hours, Kinbridge bills the Regional Center directly. Families pay nothing for authorized services.
