Individuals with a disability often experience delays in achieving developmental milestones; however, puberty usually occurs at the same age and rate as typically developing peers. Adolescents with an atypical neurodevelopmental disability may need a more individualised plan of support to adjust to the changes that happen in puberty. This workshop will assist health professionals to provide tailored support to client's and their families/carers in planning for and navigating these conversations.
