Who we are

Beacon Transitions

Located in Hendersonville, North Carolina, Beacon Transitions specializes in working with young adults who present with learning disabilities, generally in the form of autism spectrum disorder. Whether our clients  are just starting out after high school, or have experienced some of life’s roadblocks during their college careers and young adult lives, they recognize that they need support in meeting incremental goals that align with their long term plans. All of our clients have come to us with emerging skills in all areas of independence, but need coaching and guidance from a support system that can help them become fully engaged. 


Our Mission is to provide individualized services to our residents as they pursue goals related to personal independence, higher education, social and emotional resilience, and family relationships. 


Our Team is trained in best practices in autism and our Case Managers provide individual services to each resident and their family as they transition into adulthood and achieve their goals. Our Teachers, Direct Care Team, and Employment Specialists work one on one with our clients to help them learn the skills needed to self-actualize and hit targeted milestones of achievement 


At Beacon, we're able to help students achieve success because success is defined largely by the client themselves. Completion of our program often  means that participants are either employed, with the skills and supports needed to live Independently,  or in a college setting, developing long term career skills. If and when there is a deviation from either path, we strive to support our clients by lighting the flame that fuels their ambition.


Beacon Transitions accepts clients that have made a conscious decision to enroll. The admissions process consists of a meeting between the client and the team, a review of any related psychological testing, transparent communication with any previously attended programs and clinicians, and an application for admission.

Phase System

Phase One

In Phase one, our clients move into our Main Residential Facility. They enter under a higher level of supervision initially, including oversight of medication compliance, transportation to and from work and volunteer commitments, engagement in the program structure, such as classes, labs, fitness routines, and group meals, and monitored wireless access. Each client is accommodated with their own individual room, food, meal planning, and personal hygiene needs.

Phase Two

Clients are eligible for  Phase Two after a minimum of 6 months in the Program. In Phase two, they transition into individual apartments that are on the same property as the main house. Pre-requisites for phase two include holding steady employment, demonstrating an ability to self administer medications without supervision if applicable, and accruing a fixed dollar amount in savings. With greater privilege, comes greater responsibility. Clients will do their own grocery shopping, have the ability to bring a personal vehicle to campus and use it for transportation to and from work, and will engage in clinical services consistently, including group and individual therapy sessions 

Life Skills

Phase Three

In Phase Three, Clients transition from living at  Beacon Transitions, to an apartment or house in the surrounding area, typically either Asheville or Hendersonville. They are assisted in this transition by their collective team, including their Case Manager, Clinician, LifeTutors Coach and The Directors. They will continue to receive services, including one on one sessions, coaching, counseling, and wellness checks, but by this point, clients have demonstrated an ability to live almost entirely independently
