How to Navigate College Planning for the Unique Learner and Special Needs in Massachusetts High ScoolWebinar, January 27th, 2026, with Learning Prep School in Waltham, MA. Free. When families begin thinking about life after high school, the conversation often centers on what comes next-college, work, or adult programs. In this presentation, talk about what really helps neurodivergent young adults build fulfilling, self-directed adult lives.
* Explore how employment, independent- living skills, and social competencies all work together to support long-term well-being, confidence, mental health, and a sense of belonging in the community. Break these components down in family-friendly language and discuss practical ways you can help your teen start building these skills now-at home, at school, and in everyday life.
* Families will leave with a clearer picture of what matters most during the transition years, what skills truly open doors, and how you can partner with your young adult to create a future that feels meaningful, realistic, and truly fulfilling.
