Young Adults (18–30+ years)

Why it Matters:

Young adulthood includes transitions to work, community participation, and independent living. Recreational and social programs reduce isolation and promote life satisfaction and growth.

​

Suggested Activities:

• UW Communication for Life (CFL) – Communication, social, and independence program for neurodiverse young adults.

• Tavon Learning Center (Issaquah) – Day programs focused on life skills, art, and nature-based learning.

• Seattle Parks – Adult Adaptive Recreation Programs

• Sno-Valley Senior Center – Intergenerational programs and volunteering (great for building community connections)

• The Arc of King County – Adult life planning, advocacy, and connection events.

• Outdoors for All (Seattle) – Year-round adaptive recreation (cycling, skiing, kayaking).

​

Tips for Choosing Activities

• Ask about staff training in neurodiversity or special education.

• Look for sensory-friendly hours, visual schedules, or social stories to help prepare.

• Start with short-term or drop-in events to test the fit before committing.
