Agency Partnerships
Hello, It's Me® partners with IDD agencies, providers, support coordination agencies and networks. Together we give the adults you serve relationship coaching and a safe app for friendship, communication and daily routines.
Four ways to partner
Each partnership names who fits, what you receive and what our team handles for you.
For support coordination agencies, case management and county DD boards
Connect individuals to Hello, It's Me® through the funding already in their plan.
You receive
A plain-language funding guide for your state, progress reporting for each person's planning team, and a named partnerships contact.
We handle
Intake, setup, training and member support.
We never ask support coordinators for referrals. Individuals and families choose their providers.

How a partnership starts
Fifteen minutes to scope fit, your state and the right partnership.
We align on goals, locations, the people you serve and the funding route.
A written plan: format, participants, reporting and start date.
Orientation for staff, individuals and families, then sessions with monthly reports.
Funding by state
Each route fits a different state and a different partnership.
The Division of Developmental Disabilities authorizes Hello, It's Me® as an assistive technology service across its four developmental disability waivers.
Focus EduSolutions is an approved assistive technology provider with the Division of Developmental Disabilities.
Hello Connections runs in every state on agency budgets, grants or sponsorship. Provider enrollment is under way in more states.
Each person's waiver and support plan decide funding, and the state reviews every request. Our team confirms the route for your state on the first call. I would like to know more
Why agencies partner with us
Dr. Karyn Harvey, PhD, Chief Clinical Architect, designed the clinical model. She brings 35+ years in IDD care and three books on trauma-informed care.
We run outreach, intake, scheduling and reporting. Your team names a Program Director and we handle the rest.
Coaching builds skills in friendship, communication, boundaries and self-advocacy. Coaching is not therapy or counseling.
Monthly progress reports tie each person's coaching to the goals in their support plan.
The route depends on your state and the partnership. Missouri funds the app through its developmental disability waivers. New Jersey approves Focus EduSolutions as a provider. Hello Connections runs on agency budgets, grants or sponsorship in every state. We map the route for your state on the first call.
No. We never ask support coordinators for referrals. Individuals and families choose their providers.
