Webinar: Empowering vs. Enabling: Fostering Independence in Neurodivergent Teens & Young Adults

How do you teach neurodivergent teens and young adults to become more independent? Are you enabling them or setting them up for success? How do you know when to let them risk failure or give them a helping hand? This interactive workshop will identify what are reasonable and realistic expectations and provide a framework to help you figure out when and how much to help. We'll cover 5 key motivators, and the 4 phases of effective parenting to transfer ownership and foster independence.

In this presentation, learn to:

• Identify the four phases parents move through in the process of transferring ownership to kids for their education and their life.

• Determine what’s preventing complex teens and young adults from asking for the help they need in school and self-management.

• Explore the five motivators required for neurodivergent teens and young adults to do schoolwork and manage their lives independently and identify how to help them use those motivators most effectively.
