"Critical Issues for Adolescents
with Autism Spectrum Disorder"
Sept. 27- Transitioning
to Adulthood
Peter 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, now 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.
Social skills and sexuality will also be addressed in young adults with
ASD. Peter Gerhardt is the President of the
Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and the founder of OAR's
Scientific Council.
Sept. 28- Behavior Solutions for
Adolescents with Severely Limiting Autism
Maria Wheeler: Adolescence combined with severely limiting
autism presents a unique challenge for the effected individual,
families, educators and therapists. In this session, we will explore
age appropriate interventions for addressing behavioral concerns
including aggression, refusal to work, stripping, self-stimulation,
ineffective communication, offensive communication, echolalia, sexual
behavior, seizure-related behaviors, wandering, non-compliance and
other behaviors that commonly interfere with social success and
learning. Maria Wheeler is the author of "A Treasure
Chest of Behavioral Strategies for Individuals with Autism," and
"Toilet Training for Individuals with Autism and Related Disorders."
