Jan. 17 - Transitioning to Adulthood

With Gerhardt:

Increasing attention is being paid to needs of learners with Autism Spectrum

Disorder (ASD) as they enter adolescence and grow into adulthood. Where

job placement was once considered desirable, now the goal is career

development. Instead of residential placement, there is talk of

residential choices in support of quality of life. This workshop will

provide an overview of this movement toward transition planning for competent

adulthood. Support structures, social and life skills, and sexuality will

also be addressed in young adults with ASD. Gerhardt is the

President of OAR (Organization for Autism Research) and the Chair of OAR's

Scientific Council.

Jan. 18 - Adolescent Issues on the Autism

Spectrum

With Chantal

Sicile-Kira: Adolescence is a time of positive growth as well as

challenges. This session will provide practical strategies for teaching

teenagers of all ability levels the necessary life skills of self-care,

self-regulation, self-advocacy, and self-esteem. What and how to explain

about puberty, relationship boundaries and sexuality will be discussed, as will

common adolescent concerns such as bullying and masturbation.

Individualized transition plans will be covered. Areas to be

emphasized include: focusing on the student's strengths, developing work/career

skills, preparing for college, different types of employment structures,

employer needs and the use of mentors. Chantal Sicile-Kira is the

author of " Autism Spectrum Disorders, " the winner of the ASA

Outstanding Literary Work of 2005, and " Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum. "
