Ethical and Practical Considerations: Transition to Adulthood

As individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders age out of childhood and school-based services, a number of factors become important. Ethical and practical considerations of this transition will be examined, with an eye on maximizing the autonomy and self-determination of the individual.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will identify "infantilization" and consider programmatic issues in avoiding it.
2. Participants will discriminate programming that promotes independence from programming that creates dependence.
3. Participants will identify factors that are important in the fading of service provision.

I am very busy and generally never write reviews, but it was so refreshing and surprising to listen to this man who has such a heart for adults with disabilities. His passion, creativity, rawness, utter care, and brutal honesty was so authentic that I listened closely to every word. He is also a natural storyteller, which made the lecture all the more colorful and profound. This is a man after my own heart, practicing behavior analysis from the heart, and I wish there were more like him in the field. Read More

This was an excellent discussion about the practicality of functional training. I appreciate your candid but real attitude and real world examples of learned behavior both infantizing our clients, and others taking advantage of our clients due to us failing to prepare for a real world consequence. This was captivating throughout and I would listen to this speaker again for a variety of Naturalistic realities of working with older clients with ASD. Read More

As a Special Education teacher working at the high school level and who has previously worked in a residential setting having to transition students to post public education life, I found that the presenter hit and affirmed a lot of the concerns related to transition. It is a difficult and stressful time for parents and some parents wait to the last years to finally address the reality of the transition. Unfortunately there aren't many options out there and for the population that I serve, severe behaviors, they are slim to none. If this had been a live presentation in a lecture hall you might have heard me yell AMEN!! when the presenter mentioned how some of these behaviors that we allow our students to continue because they are cute and not teach them to act more socially acceptable. Just like we do with "neural typical" students, we should be preparing our students for the reality of their adulthood. We are not just babysitting them. This was one of the most relevant trainings I have had in years, it just reignited my passion to help find or create something for our students and their families. How can we just let them "graduate" and say "oh well, it's now the parents job". I am not programmed that way. Read More
