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.

This presentation is a "dialogue"
between a noted child
psychiatrist and the educators
and parents who interact daily
with adolescents affected by
Asperger Syndrome (AS).
Attendees will learn the distinct
clinical features of AS, along with
the similarities and differences
of AS and Autism. They will find
marked differences in education
and intervention measures used
for these two disorders. Dr. Tsai
also discusses: Effective
medical/non-medical treatments
and interventions for AS, and
how new research and
co-existing disorders are
influencing the success of
treatment and education of AS.
