Abstract

When a young person with autistic spectrum disorders enters secondary school, there are lots of new factors to consider. This books looks at: - making good transitions from primary school. - how to provide helpful INSET for teachers, senior managers, support staff and lunchtime supervisors. - using the young person's special interest as a tool for learning. - record-keeping, IEPs and sharing information across the school. - subject disapplication and formal examinations. - social strategies to employ in a large high school. - useful tips for staff - what to do and what not to do. - work experience, careers and self-advocacy. The importance of working closely with parents is also covered, as is dealing with challenging behaviour.
