Webinar, 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.
