Transition Planning Review for Adolescents with Autism

During the adolescent stage of development the autistic individual's parents really begin to consider their child's future. Autistic adolescents are commonly provided a transition planning review developed by parents, school district and advocates.

The transition planning review covers serious issues like post-secondary education, career planning and vocational training. Parents also consider living arrangements and personal care for their adolescent as they enter adulthood.

The transition planning review is based on the individual's level of functioning, his strengths and interests as well as his needs. No two transition planning reviews will be exactly alike and they are subject to change as the adolescent develops.
