Autism and Transitions

 

Transitions refers to the movement of one area of life to another. Within education, this can include transitions to school and beyond and are significantly important stages in a child’s life. However, for a young person with autism day to day transitions are also significant as they can involve changes and disruption to routines, increase stress and anxiety and create unpredictability in the day. These transitions may include, moving between activities at home/school, transitioning to and from school, staff changes, changes to home-based routines and so forth. This session will address the importance of preparation and visual communication when preparing a young person with autism for transitions. Strategies to support your child will be provided with a key focus on addressing the transitions between the home and school environment.
