Episode 9 - Allison Kleinman & Alex LoPinto - Supporting Families After "The Cliff"

Where can families of neurodivergent children turn to when the structure and support of school systems fall away after graduation?Allison Kleinman, LCSW, and Alex LoPinto, LCSW of Future Centered Care join us to unpack the critical gaps families face when supporting adults with developmental disabilities—especially during major life transitions like “the cliff” after school. We explore the emotional and practical challenges parents encounter as their child develops greater autonomy, and how to make these transitions feel meaningful even without traditional milestones. From building community and expanding independence to reimagining what a supported, fulfilling adult life can look like, this conversation offers both insight and possibility for families navigating what comes next.LINKS: Connect with Alex and Allison Future Centered Care website Linkedin Instagram
