How can I help my child transition to adulthood?

To assist with the transition:

  1. Encourage Independence: Gradually allow your child to take on responsibilities, such as self-care and decision-making.
  2. Explore Opportunities: Research vocational training, higher education options, and employment opportunities that match your child’s strengths.
  3. Develop Life Skills: Teach practical life skills, including budgeting, cooking, and job-seeking skills.
  4. Connect with Resources: Engage with organizations that offer transition planning and support for young adults with disabilities.
