Intake Process

You can use any of these methods:

• Fill out the online form.
• Download the form (PDF). Print it, fill out the form and return it to us by email (after scanning or taking a photo), mail or fax, or bring it to the center in person. (The email address, mailing and physical address and fax number are at the bottom of the form.)
• Get a hard copy of the form by calling us at 425-488-6173 or emailing us.
• Call us at 425-488-6173 to do the form by phone with a staff member from the center. If you use a language other than English, please call 866-583-1527, choose your language and ask to speak to the Alyssa Burnett Adult Life Center.

Along with your initial screening form, please provide any of the following that apply to you:

• Person-Centered Service Plan if your family is using Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) funding. This assessment is done with a DDA case manager each year. You can get it from your case manager. The form is titled “Person-Centered Service Plan (PCSP) Current Annual DDA Assessment Details.”
• Individualized education program (IEP). This document is done for students in public schools to help them reach their goals.
• Care plans or tips from supported living services or group homes. 

If you fill out the online screening form, you will be able to upload and submit other files with it.

If you do your screening form another way, you will have other options for sending paperwork to us. See step 3.

You can use any of these methods:

• Submit online: Initial Screening Form
• Email: abcintake@seattlechildrens.org
• Drop off in person or mail: 19213 Bothell Way NE, Bothell, WA 98011
• Fax: 206-985-3341

After we receive your paperwork, we will schedule a time with you to do this interview by phone. The interview will help us learn about you and how we can best support you at the center.

Next, we will send you an email with links so you can do the following (or we can help you over the phone):

• Set up an online iClass account, which you will use to schedule your intake appointment. (The set-up steps are in the email.)
• Schedule your in-person or virtual intake appointment.
  • Participants who do an in-person intake appointment can enroll in in-person and virtual services by Zoom.
  • Participants who do a virtual intake appointment by Zoom can only enroll in virtual services.
• Take our online quality-of-life survey. This helps us learn how the center may affect your life and how we can plan future programs. 

We will send you a separate email to confirm your intake appointment.

During your intake appointment, you will meet with members of our team. They will:

• Answer any questions you may have.
• Help decide the best fit for classes.
• Check if you need a caregiver or other supports while at the center.
• Give you a tour of the center (for in-person appointments).
• Give you a chance to see classes that are taking place that day (for in-person appointments).
• Give you a photo release form asking if we can take your photo during activities and classes at the center. It is okay to say no. If you are okay with having photos taken, fill out the form and give it back to us.

At the end of your appointment, we will look over the class calendar and catalog together to see what interests you. You can choose activities and make a schedule based on your interests and class openings.

If a class is full, we will add you to a waiting list and tell you when we have openings.

Tuition for classes is due on the first day of the quarter. If you enroll after the quarter starts, payment is due before your first class. We offer scholarships to families with financial need who could benefit from our classes and programs.
