Supporting Secondary Students w/ASD with the Transition to Adulthood POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
April 21, 2023 9:00am-12:00pm (for BC School Employees Only)
The transition from high school to adulthood is an important time for students and their families. While many students are looking forward to new opportunities, change can also be difficult as there will be a lot of new environments, new people, new responsibilities, and new routines to get used to. Autistic students may experience heightened stress around this transitional period compared to neurotypical peers. When thoughtful planning and preparation happen collaboratively, our students can reduce the stress of this transition period, adjust to upcoming changes, and experience more confidence and comfort during this time. This workshop will provide educators with a Transition Planning Tool to help guide assessment, goal-setting, and implementation of programming to build skills that are important for adulthood; as well as provide connections to community resources to enhance our students’ support networks outside of the school system.The intended audience for this workshop is Resource Teachers, Case Managers, Administrators, and/or Itinerant Staff who support secondary-age students.
Audience: This workshop is for employees of BC School Districts, BC First Nations Schools and BC Independent Schools.
