Contribution

The factor of time and individual patterns of time perception can be utilized in various ways in transition counselling. Specific patterns of time perception can also be found in different target groups. What different meanings of time do young people with disability experiences, their parents, and professional supporters have? How does the factor of time specifically impact questions regarding the past, present, and future in transition counseling? Through interview analyses with Constructivist Grounded Theory (Charmaz 2009), an attempt is made to answer these questions. In conclusion, a reflective understanding of concepts of time perception is made practical for transition counseling (Fasching & Felbermayr 2024). This knowledge could be applied in counseling conversations within transition counseling in various settings (individual, family, groups).
