The Challenges of Puberty For Young Adults with Special Needs | Jordan Wishner
Description
On this episode of the It's Special Podcast, we sit down with Jordan Wishner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to discuss the unique challenges that young adults with special needs face during puberty and the confusion and anxiety, they experience when it arrives earlier for them than their peers and when they are not prepared for the physical and emotional changes.
Jordan emphasizes the importance of providing comprehensive support and education to young adults with special needs during this challenging time. He believes that open communication, tailored education, and ongoing guidance can help these young adults navigate this phase of their lives and develop healthy relationships with themselves and others.
