Launching! To Adulthood Program
The Launching! to Adulthood program helps autistic young adults reach their full potential while supporting their parents. The Launching! to Adulthood program for young adults (18-25 years old) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without an intellectual disability and their parents is a 12-week therapy program based on evidence-based therapies (cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing). After an initial combined (parents and young adults) group session, the program works separately with parents and young adults with ASD to help them transition to adulthood using three distinct but vital components: 1) weekly (60-minutes) virtual group therapy for young adults, 2) weekly (60-minutes) virtual group therapy for parents, and 3) individual, “coaching” sessions (30-minutes, weekly for 10 weeks) with young adults. Parents and young adults also receive family therapy sessions. The therapy program is offered in English and Spanish.
