Neurodiversity - the Transition to Adulthood: for Practitioners, Therapists, Families and Other Providers

The conference will examine the transition process from a lifespan perspective. It will review what different providers, therapists, and families should know about transition care, transition-related systems, available programs and resources, and how to access them, including mental health care.  It will include families and self-advocates sharing their lived experience with transitions.  And it will explore systems issues, obstacles, and possible solutions with the goal of helping families, health providers, therapists, and care system leaders work together to improve the transition process for neurodiverse individuals.

This free conference is co-sponsored by Brooklyn LEND, and the SUNY Downstate School of Health Professions and College of Medicine.
