For many people with disabilities, the excitement of life after high school is accompanied by challenges with finding and receiving the services and supports they need to meet their personal goals. Panelists will present information about cognitive and emotional development from adolescence to adulthood, as well as ways to plan for and begin the journey to adulthood.

Presented by Lauren Lindstrom, Ph.D., Steve Ruder, B.A., and Marjorie Solomon, Ph.D.

The UC Davis MIND Institute is working to amplify the voices of the disability community and promote neurodiversity. This includes responding to concerns regarding the language and framing used to describe autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. We believe there is a benefit to maintaining access to historical presentations like those on our YouTube page, but recognize that the vocabulary used doesn’t always match the current preferred language. We appreciate the harmful impact of this outdated language, the discriminatory framework which fostered it, and the distress it may cause to some individuals. In an attempt to lessen this, we have changed the titles of presentations where appropriate.
