The content is undergirded by our mission to help individuals participate meaningfully in their lives and the community. Presentation objectives:

  • Identify barriers to effective transitions for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual and developmental disabilities,
  • Review of implications for stakeholders, and
  • Provide guidance for setting short-term and long-term behavioral goals that support lifelong practical skill acquisition and increased independence.
