Transition to Adulthood

As students prepare for adulthood, we focus on making their transitions as smooth as possible.


Individual and group career counseling, supported school and community employment, and life skills training all contribute to our students’ increasing independence and future success.

We work closely with families and community agencies to help students successfully navigate into adult life. We provide information, guidance, and support to parents as they evaluate options for their young adult.

Some families who require ongoing support choose to continue their relationship with May Institute beyond graduation. These young adults transition directly into our state-of-the-art day programs, and/or our nearly 100 group homes across Massachusetts, ensuring a seamless continuum of care.
