Episode Description

Ask any teen or young adult with ADHD if they’re ready to embark on independent living and adulting without supervision, and they’ll likely say “Yes, I’ve got this!” Ask the parents of those kids the same question, and they’ll likely say, “I’m not so sure!” As we know, kids with ADHD often lag behind their neurotypical peers in emotional maturity and executive functioning, so it’s natural for parents to feel uncertainty as college, trade school, or a first job beckons.

Coaching experts Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster of ImpactParents will share the five most important life skills that every teen or young adult with ADHD needs before they venture out on their own, and they will discuss how they helped their own young adult children build independence and thrive.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • About tools to foster independence and approaches to engage your kids in understanding what it takes to move into a more independent life
  • How to build the skills that teens and young adults with ADHD need to embark on a journey to college or trade school, or to enter the workforce
  • How to help your teen or young adult build a foundation for a successful and fulfilling life on their own terms
