Transition to adulthood
1. Introduction
Before we start, let us ask some questions of reflection
How do you think your child will behave during puberty?
How they feel during this difficult time?
How can you support your child during Transition to adulthood?
Do you know possibilities for sharing responsibilities in your child’s life?

Children grow up and everything changes. This is difficult even under "normal" circumstances, but if the child has an intellectual disability, this completely natural development is perceived as even more difficult. This process cannot be stopped, so it is better for all those involved to find out and learn as much as possible about what happens during puberty and adolescence.
These challenges are tackled in the following module.
- Understanding my child
- Supporting my child
- Letting my child go
- External support
