For all teens, the transition into adulthood is generally seen as a challenging and scary process. For teens diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as their caregivers, this transition is often more complicated. The period of transition for individuals with ASD into adulthood is intensely more challenging due to their “unique characteristics, the lack of services that address the special needs of such individuals in adulthood, and the expectations of society for a typical path to adulthood in the face of atypical problems” (Geller and Greenberg, 2009, pg. 93). Without the necessary resources to transition, teens with ASD find themselves unprepared for life at work, in college, or community living. Through this paper, the reader will obtain knowledge in regards to what ASD is, the barriers it yields concerning the transition into adulthood, and the effects it has on the individual as well
The focus of this paper is to compare and contrast a well elder and a frail elder while using Occupational Therapy Practice Framework language. For this assignment I chose to conduct a semi structured interview using the Canadian Occupational performance Measure (COPM) to gather information about my chosen elders perceived problems and priorities. For this assignment I will be using pseudonyms in order to protect the privacy of both individuals.
One of the challenges post-secondary institutions are facing today is their declining in student retention rates. This may be attributed to the fact that high school students are graduating without being college ready. College readiness is defined as a combination of skills, knowledge and habits of mind necessary to fully participate in college-level courses. To make this happened, across the nation and the state various efforts and initiatives have been taking place to form college readiness programs or curricula geared to help students to obtain the skills, support and resources necessary to be successful in college.
Older adults are a very knowledgeable population and have had a lot of life experiences. As people age, things start to change physically, mentally, and socially. It’s important to understand the process of aging, so that older adults can be taken care of properly. I interviewed P.R. who is a 71-year-old male that lives alone in his home. P.R. is a retired coal miner, and is currently living off his social security and savings. He lives close to both his daughter and son, who frequently help him out with things that are needed. P.R. was able to give me a lot of insight about specific challenges that he has experienced in his life that is associated with aging. I will be discussing challenges that P.R experienced physically, mentally,

The Great recession that began in 2007 has had an effect on elderly people. They have a struggle between having to work and retiring. Seniors can enjoy life after retirement.

Changes have to be change by the fact that many students from Anaheim High School are not succeeding, the way to do it is to let them earn themselves a full ride scholarship to a four year University. For the ones that can achieve the goal do not have to struggle for money in the future, which then have to pay early on. Many of the students from California receive scholarship by after school programs, sports, and excellent grades. Anaheim High School should pressure the students to have extraordinary grades throughout their freshmen year to senior year and the only way to do that is to give them a reward for their hard work. A program that only focuses on freshmen students to be drafted for a total of forty-percent. The students will have
Life is full of transitions, how they are handled and the choices made ultimately effect the overall outcome. College is a transition in which many students begin to truly discover who they are, and what they are meant to fulfill in life. Throughout my time at the current institution I attend, the journey has not been what I quite expected. My goals were afflicted, this includes several unexpected roadblocks throughout the course of it, which ultimately have been detrimental to my success. In order to truly discover the path that is right for me, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to fulfill this is to take my journey to another institution of higher education.
The issue become extraordinarily worse and overwhelming for both the student and their families during the time getting their degree. While going to college students have to find a job anyways to pay for basic necessities such as Ramen noodles because of how ill prepared their own parents are for the future. Since these students don’t possess a college degree, or if they don’t have any real work experience in the field they are going into beforehand, have to take a low quality job just so students do not end up going hungry by the end of it. There will be little in the way of assistance from the parents of these students as they attempt to save up enough money to retire by the end of paying for the exceedingly high price of their student having
Last Thursday’s class was a reminder that poverty can be a constant cycle. One specific example was about “day of” lenders, who provide money up front with extremely high interest rates knowing the debtor could potentially be unable to repay their debts. In this case penalty charges can keep increasing the amount of money one owes and simultaneously start to dig a deeper and deeper hole. This example felt all too real, because as a student it almost seems impossible to start off life after college without having to take out some type of loan(s). It could be money for a vehicle all the way to buying a home, but either way you need to be able to pay off your debt by finding a job(s) with a wage that can. I hope to never find myself in a
Envision sitting in a rocking chair and having an” idle” lifestyle or idle time. When one reaches the age of 55, it is time to consider retirement planning. Determining a future lifestyle change means making plans or preparation for this life adjustment. A little retirement planning now can make a huge difference later and should not be put off. Retirement is a strategy for the future and a vision of the future.

Becoming an adult, also known as young adulthood, is a very crucial stage in one’s life. This is the climax of physical and health processes. This is the point in life when we make plans of our futures. It is the time when we think of what life will be like as an adult and make plans for the future. Most importantly, it is when we lay the starting point for developmental changes that we will undergo throughout our lives. An adult is a person who is fully grown or developed. Some people believe that you become an adult when you are 18 years old, other believe you are an adult when you can legally buy and consume alcohol, that is, at age 21 in the United States. Others believe that you are an adult when you are supporting yourself
