Adolescent/Young Adult Life Transitions

Please call (314) 286-1669 Opt. #1 or email OTClinical@wustl.edu to schedule an appointment for our Adolescent/Young Adult Life Transitions services.

Adulting is hard! People with intellectual and developmental disabilities may require additional services during or after high school for a successful transition to the next life stage. Neurodivergent adolescents and young adults may need specialized skill development and support to transition to independent living situations.

WashU Medicine Occupational Therapy can help bridge the transition to adulthood through individualized, strengths-based services to create and maintain a purposeful, meaningful, and active adult life.

WashU Medicine Occupational Therapy can provide strategies, skills, and supports for:

• Home activities (e.g., self-care, meal preparation, chores)
• Community activities (e.g., grocery shopping, safety, getting around in community)
• Managing sensory and emotional regulation
• Self-determination
• Developing healthy habits
• Other important life activities

Sessions are offered:

• In clinic
• Virtual for patients in Missouri and Illinois (This will vary based on insurance provider and insurance approval.)
