Transition to adulthood for individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions – Ulf Jonsson's team

We conduct studies to learn more about the support needs of young adults with neurodevelopmental conditions, and how the support ideally should be delivered. Our team is part of the Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet (KIND).

Our research

Early adulthood can be challenging for young people with neurodevelopmental conditions. Support needs are often intensified by major life events, such as moving out from your parents, the school-to-work transition, and transitions in healthcare. Support is often insufficient, which can have long-lasting negative effects on the individual’s future health and life chances. We conduct studies to learn more about the support needs of young adults, and how the support ideally should be delivered.

Support in the transition to adulthood

The transition to adulthood can be challenging for young people with neurodevelopmental conditions. Timely and efficient support at this stage can be crucial for future life chances. At KIND, we are currently conducting a series of studies to learn more about the support needs of young adults, and how the support ideally should be delivered.
