A Life Simulation Setting: Delivering Comprehensive Care to Neurodivergent Young People
Older teens and young adults who are neurodivergent, or have autism (Asperger’s/ADHD), are struggling to launch and can require a more intensive treatment. Frequently, these individuals experience loss of skill development that can result in trauma, anxiety, and depression. With these young people on the cusp of adulthood, what is necessary to help this population be successful and as independent as possible? Join Rick Silver, MD, ScM ’83, as he discusses how he delivers comprehensive care through “a life simulation setting”, which includes executive function skill building, medication, and family involvement resulting in the skills needed for independence.
Rick Silver, MD, ScM '83, is a psychiatrist who for many years has been practicing comprehensive approaches to mental health. His experience with finding good care for two of his daughters who have ADHD helped shape the approaches he uses at THRIVE Emerge which he founded in 2007.
Dr. Silver obtained his undergraduate degree from University of Michigan; a Master's degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University; and his medical and psychiatric training from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
