Next Steps Navigation

Parent Consultation to Support Your Neurodivergent Teen’s Transition-To-Adulthood

Dr. Rosalind Oti offers Next Steps Navigation to support parents of neurodivergent teens as they prepare for life after high school. This parent consultation is designed to provide practical guidance as you support your teen’s transition to adulthood. In this session, we will review your current concerns, your teen’s strengths and areas of need (based on parent report), and goals for the transition to adulthood, including college, vocational pathways, and independent living.

This consultation is appropriate if you are:

  • The parent of a 14+ neurodivergent teen

  • Feeling uncertain about your teen’s next steps after high school

  • Wonder what to prioritize and what to focus on as your teen approaches adulthood

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the transition-to-college process

  • Have specific questions or are curious about post-secondary educational supports

  • Wanting clarity about next steps and available resources

  • Looking for expert guidance with a psychologist who has helped numerous families with this process over two decades

What the consultation includes:

  • One-time parent consultation appointment (90 minutes)

  • Discussion of current academic, daily living, and mental health needs and supports, and goals for post-secondary education and/ or vocational training, and independence

  • Concrete, actionable recommendations

  • Discussion and advice about common pitfalls

  • Focus on practical strategies to support a successful transition to adulthood

  • Discussion of whether additional testing or other services may be beneficial

What this consultation does not include:

  • Psychological or neuropsychological testing

  • Other evaluation services such as record review or standardized questionnaires

  • Written report or written request for accommodations

  • Direct work with your teen

  • Diagnostic clarification

Whether the next step is college, a vocational or technical program, or employment, parents will leave with clear, actionable recommendations, a better understanding of factors to consider, and how to prioritize next steps. For many families, this session provides enough direction to move forward with greater confidence. In some cases, however, Dr. Oti may recommend a more comprehensive Transition-to-Adulthood Assessment following the Next Steps Navigation appointment.

Cost & Insurance Info:

The fee for the 90-minute Consultation Session is $425. Because the focus of this service is consultation and does not include clinical treatment or diagnostic services, it is unfortunately not a reimbursable service and Dr. Oti will be unable to provide a superbill.

Next Steps Navigation is available to families in Washington State and other states that are members of the PSYPACT multi-state agreement. Note that specific recommendations/ referrals will be more limited outside of the Puget Sound region.
