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. Social
skills and sexuality will also be
addressed in young adults with
ASD.

| Adolescence combined with severely limiting autism presents a unique challenge for the effected individual, families, educators and therapists. In this session, we will explore age appropriate interventions for addressing behavioral concerns including aggression, refusal to work, stripping, self-stimulation, ineffective communication, offensive communication, echolalia, sexual behavior, seizure-related behaviors, wandering, non-compliance and other behaviors that commonly interfere with social success and learning. |
