When
It is the right time for this program when:
-
your child or young adult is preparing for a life transition
-
school services are fading but support is still needed
-
there is a struggle “putting it all together” to successfully attend school, work, or other programming
-
a burst of executive function skills is required for new expectations (i.e. calendar management, learning how to use transportation services, etc.)
-
a new environment is causing sensory distress
