- Explore Opportunities: Research vocational training, higher education options, and employment opportunities that match your child’s strengths.
- Develop Life Skills: Teach practical life skills, including budgeting, cooking, and job-seeking skills.
- Connect with Resources: Engage with organizations that offer transition planning and support for young adults with disabilities.
