Adult Transition Support (designed for adults with a variety of issues such as Learning Disabilities, Asperger's Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, PDD, NOS and NLD).  Herman & Associates offer both individual and group support for adults making the challenging transition from dependent to independent living.  It is our experience that this is often best completed by employing a combination of parent counseling, family therapy, individual therapy for the young adult, and transition group.  Below are a number of topics commonly discussed in our sessions:

•  Discussion on the research factors associated with adult success.
•  How to set reasonable expectations and start the step-by-step process toward adult success.
•  What's best for you?  College, Trade schools, and employment?
•  Independent living skills (e.g., cooking, cleaning, shopping, budgeting)
•   Communication skills, job interviewing techniques, and job coaching.
•  Study skills, coping skills, time management, and organizational skills.
•  Developing leisure activities, interests, and adult social skills.
•  Enhancing friendships, social skills, dating, and human sexuality.
