Learn2Adult is a new tool that has been developed for teenagers, young adults, and adults living with disability. It’s designed to help people to take control of their lives and become confident adult decision-makers.

Are you a teenager, young adult, or adult living with disability?

If you want to make your own decisions but are worried about how that will work, then Learn2Adult can help you prepare. It will help you plan to take over independent decision-making when you feel ready.

Are you a family member?

Learn2Adult can provide a smoother, less stressful, and more effective transition to developing an adult-adult relationship with your child.

Do you work with teenagers or young adults with disability?

If you are a therapist, support coordinator, or other disability services professional, you can the person with disability and their families more successfully navigate the transition to adulthood with Learn2Adult.

What does it do?

The Learn2Adult Decision-Making Roadmap tool helps both families and teenagers to proactively plan how to move the decision-making from parents to adult children. The tool is provided as a workbook that covers the type of decisions adults can make and how to learn to make those decisions.

Learn2Adult can provide:

  • A better quality of life
