The chart illustrates a stark contrast: 80% of individuals deemed “Ready by 21” achieve good young adult outcomes, while only ~20% of those “Not Ready by 21” do. Conversely, 43% of the “Not Ready” group experience poor outcomes, versus just 5% in the “Ready” group. This highlights the critical importance of early developmental milestones.
