group for parents of teens with the same disability as your teen.
• Identify your needs.
• Do not assume you know what your teen needs—ask and then really listen to and value your teen's answer. Work together towards a solution, one step at a time.
• Encourage your teen to take a key role in making decisions, planning, researching and other aspects of transition, as appropriate.
Every teen has hopes and dreams. It is a parent's task and privilege to help shape those hopes and dreams into realistic, attainable goals.
