Young Adult Transition Program (YAT)
This program is for adolescents and young adults with social learning difficulty and who are struggling with the transition to independence and adulthood. The Program’s goal is to help students define and meet their own goals as they transition to adult life – whether it be college, vocational training, or employment. The Program will help strengthen the core skills needed to succeed in independent living settings. These include self understanding, self-regulation, social competence and confidence, academic readiness, executive functioning, navigation of daily life, and self-advocacy.
