Labels and diagnoses are incredibly important to a disabled person, often giving a roadmap to resources and a greater understanding of self. It is also important to recognize that a label is a way to understand characteristics, not the whole person. No one person is the same, including people with the same diagnoses and disabilities.

Transitioning out of high school can be a difficult time for families supporting a young adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Many parents describe it as “falling off the cliff.” School-based supports end, and families must begin navigating adult services, employment options and long-term planning.
