Accountability, self-motivation, accuracy and productivity in work - these may not be the skills you anticipated teaching your student or adult child, but they are essential to keeping a job, living in the community and functioning independently.

The workshops specifically address the needs of individuals with social and communication challenges, including diagnoses such as Asperger's, ADHD, high-functioning autism spectrum disorders and similar, as they prepare for - or need to confront - the transition to adult responsibilities and expectations.

Specific, practical strategies examine realistic transition plans, "Social-Emotional Chain Effects," and how to develop an "I Can Do It" mindset.
