JobTIPS Transition Toolbox will be a huge help to transition teams
and educators as they ponder the following challenging questions that
arise for students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- How can educators best prepare students with Autism Spectrum Disorder for post-secondary educational and work environments?
- How can a transition team take optimal advantage of the unique interests and strengths of students of ASD?
- While addressing the standard course of study how can the transition team support the goals of self-advocacy, judgment, and social integration in ways that meet the goals of IDEA?
- How can educators apply ASD intervention practices that have been identified as evidence-based to transition programming in an integrated fashion?
The JobTIPS Transition Toolbox intends in five units to
help transition teams answer these challenging questions.
Of course the answers to these questions, vary greatly
depending on the individual with ASD. One thing that we know for
certain, is that the move from school environments into adult
residential, vocational and community environments is a very
challenging transition. This transition can take much time beyond
the end of high school to get to meaningful and fulfilling routines
in all three areas. Both residential competence and community
integration are important areas of focus in transition planning.
More to come, so stay tuned!
