Many neurodivergent young adults struggle initially when they start living on their own. In this webinar, Dr. Sharon Saline will describe a comprehensive framework for understanding emerging adulthood. Participants will learn how to cope with the stress of ‘adulting,’ as well as techniques for managing key aspects of independent living, and parents will learn how to look for signs of risky behavior and when to intervene.
In this webinar, young adults and their parents will learn:
- About the importance of treatment adherence, or, in the case of treatment cessation, how to know whether young adults are managing well
- How caregivers can spot risky behavior when their young adult lives away from home
- About techniques to support independent living and overcome challenges related to executive functioning, social, and emotional issues
- How to handle common scenarios, including living with new roommates, managing challenges on the job, dating, and more
