Do You Share These Frustrations With Other Parents Of Special Needs Young Adults?
There is no shadow of a doubt we love our children—absolutely none.
However, special needs parents who are the primary caregivers to a special needs young adult (who is capable of self-support) share with me how frustrated they get when their young adult appears not to listen or put any effort into a task after they’ve been shown what and how to do something.
How are you doing, really?
- Are you exhausted doing all the follow-ups?
- Are you frustrated with the lack of follow-through?
- Are you worried about them navigating the future without you?
It’s a heavy load for parents to be frustrated and exhausted doing the same caregiving routine over and over while deprioritizing their own needs when they could be guiding their young adults to be self-supportive and gain more energy and time for their own lives.
Special Needs Parents Lack The Support From A “Team Player”
As special needs parents, we hold a conviction deep down that our special needs young adult children are meant for more than hiding, attached to being a kid, and living in fear of engaging an adult world. Because we hold that conviction, we know a uniquely productive, self-supportive path in life is waiting for them.
Hi, I’m Steve. I help parents guide their special needs young adults to be self-supportive while the parents focus on the best use of their energy to reduce frustration and exhaustion. This will be achieved through a process of learning what is practical and predictable for them and their young adult.
At this stage of life, your young adult is withdrawing and uninterested or fearful of engaging in the adult world. I will help you:
- Identify the source of anxiety and lack of interest,
- Focus on how his special needs brain works uniquely, and
- Nail down a realistic context for teaching a self-supportive skill.
After working with me, parents are:
- Less frustrated
- Have increased energy, and
- Gain incremental progress toward what their young adult wants to do.

What We Want For You
We want you, as a parent with more focused energy, to be a guide for your young adult.
We want your young adult to be self-supportive and learn skills that accomplish what he wants to do, realize his potential, navigate life more effectively, and develop his identity in his value rather than his disability.
What We Don’t Want For You: We don’t want you to stay frustrated, exhausted, and stuck doing the same caregiving routine repeatedly over and over. We don’t want you to stay a caregiver, feeling exhausted, frustrated, and guilty about prioritizing your needs at the expense of your special needs young adult.
We want to come alongside you, support you, and see your transformation as a parent who guides your young adult’s self-supportiveness, gaining energy and time for doing personal activities while prioritizing what’s also important to them.
