F.E.A.S.T.–Family Program

F.E.A.S.T.–Family (Family Engagement & Applied Skills Training) is a non-clinical, caregiver-focused program offered through S.L.A.T.E. Family Services LLC (for-profit) and Slate Family Services Foundations (non-profit) that empowers parents and caregivers through education, coaching, and practical skill-building.

Program Overview

F.E.A.S.T.–Family is available to:

• Parents and caregivers of children and youth (ages 0–18), and
• Parents and caregivers of young adults (ages 18+) enrolled in either S.L.A.T.E. programs.

For families of young adults in the AL (18+) program, F.E.A.S.T.–Family operates as a for-profit, non-state-covered support service and is not reimbursable through DDCS/DDA services.

Participation is offered through private pay, with sliding-scale options and limited waiver support available to promote access and equity.

F.E.A.S.T.–Family is designed to complement—not replace—state-funded services by strengthening caregiver capacity, improving communication, and supporting skill generalization across home and community settings.
