Skills to Soar 

Supporting teens and young adults with disabilities, neurodivergence, and mental health conditions, and empowering them to build independence and success in high school, college and beyond

Support for teens and young adults:

  • Transition from high school to college or other post-secondary options

  • Create routines and structures that make your life easier

  • Improve your relationships with friends, colleagues, teachers, and family members

  • Make decisions that align with your values

  • Advocate for yourself

  • Feel the comfort of a safety net while gaining independence

Support for parents:

  • Find the balance between supporting your child and encouraging independence

  • Manage the natural worry that comes with letting go — especially when you’ve been a strong, long-time advocate

  • Navigate differences in perspective, whether with your child or with each other

  • Create healthy family dynamics by clarifying roles and responsibilities

  • Learn how to communicate with school staff in ways that lead to understanding and follow-through
