With a focus on young adults with special needs, this volume asks vital questions about the journey and development of every individual making the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Through independent research supported by the Camphill Soltane Youth Guidance seminar, the authors of these articles make an important contribution toward understanding key developmental milestones in the life of the young individual. In many respects, this book can serve as a "textbook" contribution for educators, students of anthroposophy, curative educators, social therapists, or parents that can illuminate a fundamental approach to healing. This is a healing that belongs to the Camphill way of life. This book is fresh of the press, and we are sure you will enjoy its content. Some of the contributors include: Cornelius Pietzner, Elizabeth Amlen, Rev. Gregg C. Brewer, Carlo Pietzner, Gregg Davis, Rev. Julian Sleigh and Clemens Pietzner.

Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
