Autism & the Transition to Adulthood Success Beyond the Classroom by Wehman Ph.D., Paul, Smith Ph.D., Marcia, Schall Ph.D., Carol. Published by Paul H Brookes Pub Co,2008, Paperback
I didn't read every chapter but I read most. It was a decent textbook. I liked the three students being included so you could see how the concepts in the chapters related to real life cases. The book is a tad outdated and ableist (we discussed this in class a lot).
I’m an occupational therapist who leads a group for teenagers with ASD. I bought this hoping it would increase my skill set in this area. It was a good overview for the transition to adulthood. It also helped me realize I don’t have to “do everything” for my group members - it provided good ideas for community resources I can look into. There were also several assessments I wasn’t aware of that I will begin using in my practice. Overall, good resource to have on hand!
