Educational goals for adolescent learners with autism spectrum disorders need to focus on preparation for adult life (e.g., functioning fully in their homes and community settings, developing relevant job skills, increasing self-care, leisure and domestic skills). As adolescents age up toward 21, it is an especially important time for parents to collaborate with professionals and share their goals for their child. This presentation will focus on teaching strategies to teach functional skills required for adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorders to hold community job and volunteer experiences as well as to access community recreation and leisure opportunities.
