Next Steps Into Adolescence
-A Workshop for those supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are approaching adolescence-
As children approach and enter the teenage years, they must deal with physical growth spurts, mindboggling hormone releases, and ever-changing and challenging social relationships. Children begin to care about being “cool,” and classmates may no longer be as tolerant of “differences”. For pre-adolescent children with ASD, these already complicated physical and social changes are compounded by the typical ASD difficulties of reading social cues and understanding the behaviors of others. Consequently, children with ASD approaching adolescence have greater transition needs than most typically developing pre-teens.
Additionally, parents of pre-adolescent children also need support. By the end of elementary school, parents begin to look toward the future. They begin to think about what their children will be when they “grow-up” and worry if their children will ever “catch-up” academically and socially. All in all, the transition into adolescence can be a difficult one and a time when many families recognize the life-long planning associated with ASD. This workshop is geared toward parents, caregivers and professionals supporting individuals with ASD who are between the ages 9-15.
Presenters will include specialists in the field of autism, including psychology, behavior, medicine and social work, as well as a family panel.
