Simple Referrals.
Meaningful Connections.
Soaring Connections provides a structured pathway for individuals, guardians and independent providers who are ready to explore meaningful, self-directed support relationships.
​
If you are prepared to move forward, choose the pathway that fits your role below. Each referral inquiry begins a guided review and thoughtful next step.
For Individuals and Guardians
If you are seeking an independent provider and are ready to pursue connection, submit an Individual Referral Inquiry.
​
This pathway is a good fit if you:
-
Have a general understanding of self-directed services,
-
Are prepared to describe your goals, preferences and support needs and
-
Are ready to participate in a structured connection process.
After submission, your information will be carefully reviewed and you will receive a personalized follow-up.
A written profile draft will be developed and shared with you for review and approval before any public visibility occurs.
For Independent Providers
If you are an independent provider seeking to connect with individuals or families, submit a Provider Referral Inquiry.
​
This pathway is a good fit if you:
-
Hold an active provider number,
-
Are prepared to provide your resume and professional references and
-
Are ready to participate in a structured connection process.​
The information requested is used to develop an accurate and informative profile so individuals and guardians can make informed decisions about potential connections. It allows your experience and approach to be represented clearly and professionally within the connection process.
​
This is not an employment screening process. It is a transparency measure designed to support clarity, confidence and valid provider connections within self-direction.
​
After submission, your information will be reviewed and verification steps will be completed. A professional profile draft will be developed and shared with you for approval prior to any visibility.
What Happens After You Submit
Every referral inquiry enters the same structured pathway:
1
Personalized review and follow-up
2
Profile development and approval
3
Structured visibility within Open Connections
4
Facilitated introductions when interest aligns
5
Continued access to community resources and guidance
Individuals and guardians direct services and make final decisions. Providers determine their availability and scope of support. Soaring Connections provides structure and facilitation so both sides can begin with clarity and confidence.
Still Learning About Self-Direction?
If you are exploring self-directed services and would prefer clarity before pursuing connection, you may begin with an educational inquiry.
​
This option is a good fit if you:
-
Are new to self-direction,
-
Want to better understand roles and responsibilities or
-
Would like guidance before entering the connection process.
​
Educational inquiries may lead to a 1:1 conversation, a small group SDS 101 session or self-paced learning resources. When you feel ready, you may move forward with a Connection Referral Inquiry.
