Support that starts with people.

We built bttr because dignity, clarity, and real results should be the standard, not the exception. Every person we work with deserves support that actually feels human.

Why bttr exists

Support should feel better.

Clear. Human. Built for real life.

For many families, it has not. Services can feel inconsistent, communication unclear, and progress difficult to track.

bttr was built to change that. We believe support should be person centered, structured, and consistent. Not just present, but intentional. Not just available, but effective.

Our approach is grounded in real life. We work closely with participants, families, and Regional Center teams to build support that reflects the individual, not a template.

Clear communication. Ongoing training. Real follow through. Support that adapts over time.

We are part of the communities we serve. We advocate, we show up, and we stay engaged beyond the minimum.

bttr is a modern service provider built on accountability, clarity, and outcomes. Trusted by families and Regional Center teams, Disability Advocates and amazing Independent Facilitators across California.

Our mission

Redefine what support means.

To center dignity, clarity, and real results for adults with disabilities and their families. Not just services. A better standard.

Our vision

Human first. Always.

A world where disability services are built around people, not systems first. Where every adult lives independently on their own terms.

Real data. Real demand. A system that must feel better.

California operates one of the largest developmental service systems in the country. These numbers reflect scale, pressure, and the need for structured, person centered support.

What we stand for.

Six values that shape every session, every conversation, and every decision at bttr.

People First

Support built around the person, not a program. Your goals and your life drive every decision.

Respect is Non Negotiable

Dignity and genuine care in every interaction. No exceptions, ever.

Systems That Make Sense

Clear processes so you always know what is happening and what comes next.

Consistency Over Everything

You know who is coming, when, and what they will do. No surprises, no gaps.

Clear Communication

No confusion. No waiting. Real updates in real time, always.

Transparent by Design

From goals to billing, everything stays visible and honest. We show our work.

Giovanny Sarabia, CEO and founder of bttr Living

Giovanny Sarabia, CEO and Founder AuDHD. Notices every detail, forgets every name. Wired for fairness, equality, and a stubborn belief that rules should make sense for everyone. Passionate about innovation and technology, and convinced disability services deserve both. Favorite color: blue, obviously.

A note from our founder

bttr was never meant to be another agency. It came to set a standard.

bttr was built from a neurodivergent perspective. Not studied from the outside, lived from the inside. We know what it feels like to be handed a plan written for someone else, to be managed instead of understood.

So we built the agency we could not find. One where nothing is accidental. The way we listen, the way we match you with a support professional, the way we show our work to your family. Every piece exists on purpose, because every piece is something we once wished someone had done for us. Person centered is not a phrase on a brochure. It is the order of operations.

In less than a year, more than 130 participants and their families have trusted us with something deeply personal. None of it is ours alone. It belongs to the support professionals who show up every day, the families who open their doors, and the coordinators and facilitators who believed in a new kind of agency. Together we are proving that better days are possible, not for a few, but for everyone. And we are only getting started.

Thank you for building this with us.

Giovanny
