Description

Autism Society Award Winner! Help your child/student transition to middle/high school and experience success at school! The middle school years and the transitions to middle and high school pose challenges for all students. But for students with high-functioning autism the transition can be traumatic, leading to a downward emotional spiral and even depression. This comprehensive book starts with an overview of those characteristics of autism that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. The centerpiece of the book is a look at evidence-based strategies and supports for a successful school experience for students with ASD at the middle and secondary levels. The book includes a transition checklist that will help ensure that all aspects of the transition process are addressed. - from Amzon
