Sharing this article because we hear LOTS of teens talk about their conflicted relationship with their phone. It can be so hard to navigate the social media trap that keeps us constantly connected for our entertainment, social connections, news, etc.

We always love seeing a new resource from Got Transition? - and now there are TWO new ones!
Got TransitionTM has published two new tip sheets with suggestions to help adult health care providers successfully integrate young adults into their practices. The tip sheets -- designed for adult practices caring for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) -- include ideas and activities to prepare an adult clinician's office and staff, as well as tips to consider prior to, during, and after the initial visit. Each tip sheet also includes possible accommodations for improved care.
