Summary
Adolescent-centred transition planning:
- helps to build self-determination in adolescents on the autism spectrum
- may improve transition outcomes.
Encouraging students to play an active role in planning for their future is important – but adolescents on the spectrum may find this challenging, especially if they experience anxiety when communicating with others.
This practice is scaffolded to provide a 'just-right' approach to engage students with different levels of motivation and confidence in their transition planning.
This practice will help students to
develop self-determination
apply self-determination to career planning
This practice will help teachers to
promote career-related self-determination
assist with transition planning
