As special needs parents, we hold a conviction deep down that our special needs young adult children are meant for more than hiding, attached to being a kid, and living in fear of engaging an adult world.
Because we hold that conviction, we know a uniquely productive, self-supportive path in life is waiting for them. I help parents guide their special needs young adults to be self-supportive while the parents focus on the best use of their energy to reduce frustration and exhaustion.
This will be achieved through a process of learning what is practical and predictable for them and their young adult. At this stage of life, your young adult is withdrawing and uninterested or fearful of engaging in the adult world. I will help you:. We will nail down a realistic context for teaching a skill to help your young adult practice self-supportive skills.

We want your young adult to be self-supportive and learn skills that accomplish what he wants to do, realize his potential, navigate life more effectively, and develop his identity in his value rather than his disability.
