When working with younger clients, the focus is often on communication and behavior reduction to get them to a point where they can learn at the same rate as their peers. Supporting teens and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder goes beyond this as the skills such clients are working towards are vastly different compared to those of a client under five. Additionally, the behaviors involved become more complex as children hit puberty and encounter aspects of society that they had previously not been exposed to. This presentation aims to cover such areas and how to assist both clients and caregivers with navigating the transition to adolescence and adulthood.
