Every parent dreams of seeing their young adult child thrive independently, but the path to true independence requires more than just academic or technical skills. As your young adult navigates the transition to independent living, career development, and adult relationships, social competence becomes increasingly crucial to their success.

Understanding the Independence Challenge
