Product Description:

It is never too early for parents and educators supporting a teen with ASD to start thinking about the transition to adulthood. Often times preparing for this transition requires letting go of the protective instinct and pushing the adolescent out of their comfort zone. Conversations about what it will take to go to college or get a job should happen early and honestly. By fostering the development of self-determination, resilience, and grit you can provide the life-long tools needed for success in adulthood.
