This article provides insight on helping students with transitioning from high school to after. School supports are improving for the teen population of students who have ASD. Throughout history, high school students struggled with life after high school and schools, as well as the community, families and CSESA provide the foundation and tools that they need to succeed. Independence and social skills are advocated endlessly for high school students in special education. Discovering students' abilities and personal preferences is supported by teachers beginning at the age 14. By helping students discover their interests and disinterests, likes and dislikes, they can help create a transition plan for students to ease into adulthood as independently as possible. ]]> 2023-01-29 22:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonaadams20/nyv0amtml5uuk0ah/wish/2460621479 madisonaadams20 https://padlet.com/madisonaadams20/nyv0amtml5uuk0ah/wish/2460621604 boser-udl-for-students-with-autism.pdf (brookespublishing.com)

This video gives insight on the classroom environment. Important information needs to be presented from the beginning or students will feel out of place or wondering what they need to do; understanding what the student is thinking is a priority. Priming helps with familiarizing students with material before they are taught it. This helps students to not feel overwhelmed with new concepts in school and will ease them into lessons. Making modifications can help students with individual needs can range from giving extended time on assignments to presenting word banks for the help of word retrieval. Give clear cut directions, keep things organized and make the environment easy to follow. The environment includes having a well-structured seating plan that suits everyone. Keeping up with communicating to the parents can help with reinforcing strategies in their home as well as the community. Having a home base for students is a strategy explained in the video where they can go when they need a moment to recollect their thoughts and destress. Visual supports including schedules/graphic organizers help keep students on track and gives them a place of reference to feel comfortable. A social script (that can be provided by the teacher) helps with guiding students through conversations. Reinforcers such as praise will increase students' willingness to participate in assignments and learning course materials. Unpredictable changes can't be avoided but with the help of clearly written agendas/schedules help prepare students as best as possible to face the challenges. Supports by everyone involved can help the student feel a source of happiness and motivation. ]]> 2023-01-29 22:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/madisonaadams20/nyv0amtml5uuk0ah/wish/2460621630
