From School to Work for Students with Autism
~ Sponsored by the Jefferson County Transition Network ~
 November 6, 2015
Jefferson High School
Presented by: Kate McGinnity, Autism Consultant
For: Educators and Service Providers
Adults on the spectrum often have difficulty getting and keeping a job. This difficulty is unrelated to their job skills. In this presentation, Kate McGinnity will address the transition planning that needs to occur while students are school aged, including the role of stress. Strategies to support and bridge the entry into the work world post HS, including forms for initial and ongoing assessment of job and related skills, video technology, and prioritizing the most effective use of school time will also be discussed. Come prepared with your questions to be answered in this interactive format.
