Episode Description

Many neurodivergent young adults who are new to living on their own may struggle initially with their newfound independence. The executive function skills required to manage issues related to work, ADHD treatment, finances, social relationships, housing, and healthcare, without immediate scaffolding from their parents, can present challenges that undermine success.

In this webinar, Dr. Sharon Saline will describe a comprehensive framework for understanding emerging adulthood. She will offer techniques for managing key aspects of independent living related to executive functioning, social, and emotional challenges. Parents will learn how to look for signs of risky behavior and when to intervene. Participants will also learn how to improve skills for better self-management, cope with the stress of ‘adulting,’ and address low self-confidence professionally and personally.

In this webinar, young adults and their caregivers will learn:

  • About the importance of treatment adherence, or, in the case of treatment cessation, how to know whether young adults are managing well
  • How caregivers can spot risky behavior when their young adult lives away
  • About techniques to support independent living and overcome challenges related to executive functioning, social, and emotional issues
  • How to handle common scenarios, including living with new roommates, managing challenges on the job, dating, and more

Listener Testimonials

“Wonderful to have a learning opportunity for parents of older children. This is so valuable; I have found so few resources like this, and Dr. Saline was great in presenting to both young adults AND their parents. Thank you!”

“I really enjoyed this webinar. I’m 25 and found it really helpful.”

“Even though I’m a 30-something, and some of the aspects about school and parenting didn’t apply, I found this webinar very helpful. Especially because given my own ADHD diagnosis and executive functioning challenges and not properly confronting and treating them, I find myself closer to the life stage of those in the 20-something range.”
