Abstract
Transitioning to adulthood is a natural process involving multiple factors. Adolescents living with developmental disabilities experience more difficulties in anticipating and dealing with transitions, in moving toward positive adulthood trajectories. According to current counseling literature some resources are particularly relevant in order to support these goals.

Transitioning to adulthood is a natural process involving multiple factors
The case study presented here is an example of the possibility and usefulness of giving voice to adolescents with developmental disability who are close to life transitions and assessing their resilience, adaptability, courage and future goals
Research findings involving adolescents experiencing chronic and disabling health conditions clearly evidence the relevance of describing these resources because of the possible role they may play on positive adulthood trajectories
Summary
In current times adolescents are required and will increasingly be required to refer to and foster their strengths and courage in order to reach and maintain social and work inclusion goals [1,2]. They need support in becoming experts in anticipating and dealing with transitions, in developing resources in order to manage frequent work and life transitions [3]. Research findings involving adolescents experiencing chronic and disabling health conditions clearly evidence the relevance of describing these resources because of the possible role they may play on positive adulthood trajectories.
