High School Re-dos & Developmental Stages Part 1 with Jason

In Jason’s first solo episode, he draws from a presentation he gave at a previous Young Adult Transition Association (YATA) conference. He has found one of the most successful treatments for the neurodivergent young adult population has nothing to do with treatment.

He goes into detail about the developmental model as it applies to neurodivergent young people. This understanding gives important insights into how to better influence children. It also helps you to be ready for which developmental stage that delays really become apparent.
