🌟 Growing up is a big milestone and for families of kids with disabilities. It can be a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges. In an Exceptional Lives blog, they explore the transition to adulthood and how it feels to watch your child go from being a little one to navigating the world as an adult. The shift at age 22, when kids age out of special education and move to adult services, can feel overwhelming. From new living arrangements to less parent involvement, the changes are significant. But it’s not just about our kids. We also need to find ways to care for ourselves during this transition. If you’re on this journey, or just want to understand more about it, check out the full blog for insights and tips on supporting your young adult while also taking care of yourself. ❤️ https://bit.ly/4ea1q4g #TransitionToAdulthood #Eitas #SupportForFamilies
