Program Overview

A structured, outcomes-driven program for ages 16–25 to prepare for the academic, medical, and psychosocial demands of college and early adulthood—grounded in guidance from AAP/Got Transition, AACAP, and ACHA.

Phased Care Pathway

• Phase 1 — Pre-Departure (6–8 wks): Readiness assessment, EF bootcamp, sleep plan (CBT-I if indicated), medication reconciliation, ADA/504 documentation, campus resources map.
• Phase 2 — Campus Launch (first 6–12 wks): Weekly/biweekly coaching for routines, task initiation, anxiety skills, roommate/problem-solving, safety/crisis plan, adherence checks.
• Phase 3 — Sustain & Optimize (ongoing): Monthly follow-ups, relapse prevention, academic check-ins, medication & sleep optimization, warm handoff to adult providers as needed.

Assessment & Outcomes Monitoring

• Screening/Baseline: PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS v1.1, C-SSRS, ISI, sleep diary; QbCheck® when ADHD is suspected.
• EF & Function: BDEFS short form; academic metrics (attendance, deadlines).
• Sleep Metrics: Efficiency, SOL, WASO, regularity index.
• Goals: 2–3 SMART targets per phase (e.g., 90% med adherence, consistent wake ±30 min).
• Reviews: Mini-reassessment every 4–6 weeks with plan adjustments.

Program Elements (Week-to-Week)

• Build a personalized routine (classes, study sprints, sleep window, meals, movement).
• Practice stress/anxiety skills (breath work, exposure scripts, test-day plans).
• Set up task systems (Calendar/Notion/LMS) with accountability nudges.
• Prepare letters & forms for ADA/504; rehearse requesting & using supports.
