Preparing Students for the Real World: A Full Day Workshop on TransitionTransition can be a very exciting, and yet very stressful time for parents and professionals who are preparing adolescents with autism and other developmental disabilities for an exit from the school system, and entrance into “the real world.” This workshop will overview the three major components of transition planning: postsecondary education, employment, and community living. Within each area, participants will learn to use a “one person at a time” approach to transition planning, and utilize assessment tools and strategies to support students with disabilities and their families in weighing out available options and identifying an appropriate path to adulthood. | ||

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to knowledge and skills in conducting functional assessments and designing positive behavior support (PBS) plans in collaboration with families of students with autism and related developmental disabilities who engage in problem behavior. The focus will be on home and school contexts or routines in which collaboration between parents and educators in functional assessment and PBS is necessary to resolve problem behavior. These contexts or routines include a child’s initial entry into a public school setting, difficult transitions to and from school, doing homework, and contextual events during non-school hours that may adversely affect child behavior at school. First, opportunities and challenges in home-school collaboration will be discussed and best practices in PBS and in home-school collaboration will be presented. Then, through a case study illustration and a small group exercise, participants will be introduced to the knowledge and skills necessary to:
Readings that directly address home-school collaboration in positive behavior support will be provided. |
