Pathways to Independence: Supporting Young Adults with Learning Disabilities

A FREE LEARNING DISABILITY & AUTISM (ASD) WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY LIFE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE

The ability to interact with others, advocate for services, and navigate the adult world is challenging for all adolescents and adults. It is even more challenging for individuals with exceptionalities. Individuals with exceptionalities benefit from additional supports as they navigate school, home, and community settings, and practice the art of becoming more independent. Communication skills, social skills, self-determination skills, and self-advocacy skills are needed at home, in the workplace, in education settings, and in community settings. Research supports the importance of developing these critical skills. This presentation provides an overview of important skills and strategies for supporting adolescents and young adults as they work toward independence.
