Thousands of developmentally delayed adolescents and young adults are transitioning out of high school and into the “real” world every year. Unfortunately, it’s a big leap for many of them to go from a well-supported educational environment to a relative absence of support after they turn 18. My guest today, Dr. Rebecca Resnik, cares deeply about these folks and how neuropsychologists can help them transition more successfully into adulthood. Here are a few topics that we dive into:
- Why this transition period is so important for young adults
- The importance of self-advocacy
- How neuropsychologists can help and support these young adults
- Advocacy within private practice
