Louisa Shingler
2023-06-06
NDFYA has been a great program for our son. He has achieved maturity and
independence as well as improved social skills and navigation since
participating in NDFYA’s multidisciplinary program. I wouldn’t hesitate to
recommend the program to other neurodiverse young people and their families.

Our son has been with New Directions for 2 1/2 years. He has had some good days
and some bad days. The staff is always there to support him. They help guide him
to be an independent adult. There are many services available to meet every
young adults needs. My son is thriving and I owe it all to the staff for working
with him and our family.

Kind, warm and organized program that has the best interests at heart for the
students. Our adult child is thriving, so happy there and has many friends,
learning life and social skills. The program coordinators keep us advised of how
things are going and we all work together to achieve the best result possible. I
am so grateful for New Directions. They have provided so much guidance and love,
giving our whole family new found happiness and hope for the future.

They do an excellent job of working with parents and their young adult kids
—-helping them get “launched”.

New Directions serves young adults who "fall through the cracks" of other
systems. We're glad we found the program for our daughter.
 
Doina Chiacu
2022-11-25
Highly recommend New Directions for young people trying to find their way in
life. The staff is excellent - dedicated, professional, caring. They offer an
array of services from therapy to academic and job support. A team of
professionals evaluates your child's needs and meet regularly to discuss their
progress, as well as meeting with parents regularly to keep them updated. Our
son left the program more than a year ago but still uses services from a couple
of members of their staff - he really clicked with them. These people really
make a difference.

New Directions for Young Adults is positively changing lives, one client at a
time with their years of clinical experience, dedication, genuine kindness and
support! They have a multitude of services that have been professionally
designed with proven results. Dr. Rubin, the Founder and Executive Director of
New Directions for Young Adults, has a hands-on approach and oversees the entire
day-to-day operation with brilliance. Dr. Rubin is a class act.
Dr. Michael Kellen, Clinical Psychologist, is one of the finest professionals I
have had the pleasure of meeting. Dr. Kellen is a superb observer, assessing and
offering insights on each client he works with. We are very grateful for the
time he's spent in counseling our son. It has truly changed his life! Thank you
Dr. Kellen, we appreciate your expertise and all you do.
Paula Katz, the Director of Vocational Services, is exceptional at her role.
Paula genuinely cares about all her students and will go above and beyond
working tirelessly with each student, as their job coach. I strongly and
wholeheartedly recommended New Directions for Young Adults.

Life changing experience for our daughter. The nurturing, attentive staff and
safe environment enabled our daughter (high functioning autistic with eating
disorder) to regain her independence, make better life choices and build self
esteem. Thanks to all!

It’s been a long haul but we firmly believe our son is in the best place
possible for his long-term independence. Staff is wonderful and experienced. We
are seeing improvement. Lots of services offered including therapy, tutoring,
job placement assistance and social events. Our son wishes he had come here
after graduating high school instead of going straight to college. He’s now
getting the right amount of support to move forward.

FACILITATING INDEPENDENCE AND PROVIDING HELP FOR YOUNG ADULTS

The goal of New Directions is to prepare young adults to live independent lives.
Our program is comprehensive and client-centered, providing an individualized
plan for each client. Support is coordinated using a new multi-disciplinary
clinical approach called Direction Therapy. Direction Therapy incorporates
educational, vocational, independent living, health, social and recreational
goals into one unique comprehensive service plan. New Directions typically
supports students with executive functioning deficits and a variety of clinical
needs. Participants in the New Directions program are typically working to learn
the skills needed to live independently. New Directions is unique among
therapeutic programs for young adults, we provide a wide range of services aimed
to provide help for young adults in achieving self-sufficiency. Services are
regularly tapered to allow clients to exercise the independent living skills
they learn.

New Directions specializes in providing a custom and effective experience in a
transitional living environment. Young adults live independently but get varied
levels of support/supervision (based on recommendations and need). New
Directions provides a wide range of services. New Directions clients learn to
apply the tools they learn from our expert clinical staff to everyday life
situations. Please visit our videos page to learn more about New Directions and
Direction Therapy, our unique clinical approach designed specifically for young
adults on the spectrum.
