If yours is younger, are you curious how to get a head start on transitioning to independence?
With the understanding that each child has unique skills and abilities as well as areas that need support, we can prepare them to be as independent as possible on their timeline.
Self-confidence and the value of their special interests
Money management and budgeting
Preparing food for themselves
Hygiene issues (especially going through puberty)
Making friends, learning how to speak to people (and who is dangerous)
Becoming teens & young adults: sexuality, gender, sex education
Opportunities to be away from you
“The most successful parent is the one who fosters as much independence as is possible for their child regardless of the child’s disability. Tap into their skills, abilities and passions and support them as best you can.”
-Gary Shulman
