Brightstone Transitions

Brightstone Transitions is an active young-adult transition program in Gainesville, Georgia. Its official website describes Brightstone as a community-based program for neurodivergent young adults, with an emphasis on real-world skill building, personalized coaching, family coordination, and preparation for college, work, and independent living.

The program says it opened in 2011 and uses a coaching and mentoring model rather than a campus-based residential model. Brightstone describes its work as helping participants build practical life skills such as budgeting, meal planning, household routines, communication, emotional regulation, school readiness, and work readiness.

The NATSAP member listing identifies Brightstone Transitions as a Provisional Program in Gainesville. The same listing describes it as a young-adult and transitional independent living program serving ages 18 to 28, all genders, with a student profile focused on autism spectrum disorder, and lists CARF as its national accreditation body.
