Increasing attention is being paid to
needs of learners with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as they
enter adolescence and grow into
adulthood. Where job placement
was once considered desirable,
now the goal is career development.
Instead of residential placement,
now there is talk of residential
choices in support of quality of life.
This workshop will provide an
overview of this movement toward
transition planning for competent
adulthood. Support structures,
social and life skills, and sexuality
will also be addressed in young
adults with ASD.
