Transition Support Program for Young Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders

"The McGill Transition Support Program is manual-based, including 15 modules of curriculum, five in each of the following domains of skills:~* Social communication (e.g. listening, perspective taking)~* Self-determination (e.g. problem-solving, self-advocacy)~* Working with others (e.g. knowing your context, teamwork)~Nine out of the 15 modules are selected for each group according to the common needs endorsed by participants on a needs assessment questionnaire. Each group consists of 4 adults and two facilitators who were graduate students in Speech Language Pathology or Educational Psychology.~The intervention follows a Self-Determination Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) that considers the individual's strengths and needs in the development of personal goals and plans for one's future. A workbook is used to accompany each module with the aim of having the participants practice and generalize the main content messages."
