This webinar discusses transition planning for students with developmental disorders like autism to avoid poor outcomes after high school graduation. Jennifer Kaut explains that students with autism especially are at high risk of unemployment or underemployment after school. Successful transition requires thorough assessment of student strengths and needs, and developing a detailed multi-year roadmap by 9th grade. Vocational rehabilitation programs and applied behavior analysis can now provide more support through initiatives like WIOA that prioritize transition services for students with disabilities. The goal is to create collaborative plans that bridge the gap between school and post-secondary life.
